BDR Mutiny Case
'Disgraceful son of freedom fighter'
Prosecutor brands accused
A BDR special court prosecutor yesterday termed an accused sepoy of Record Wing under BDR headquarters “disgraceful son of a freedom fighter”.
“I salute your father for his heroic contribution. But your active participation in BDR mutiny have damaged your father's image,” said Lt Col Mizanur Rahman, prosecutor of the Special Court-9.
Lt Col Mizanur said this while he was producing arguments in favour of the allegations against the accused.
Days earlier during cross-examining witnesses, sepoy Paritosh Kumar Biswas said he is a son of a freedom fighter and claimed himself innocent.
The allegations against Paritosh include leaving Darbar Hall defying the order of the then director general (DG) and taking part in the mutiny.
The prosecutor yesterday presented arguments in favour of allegations against 67 accused.
The Special Court-9 at 13 Rifle Battalion at BDR headquarters, led by BDR sector commander of Dhaka, Col Habibul Karim, adjourned the proceeding till 10:00am of January 11 next year.
The court also said the accused will get chance to present their arguments against their allegations after the end of prosecutor's argument.
Meanwhile, the proceeding of another special court was carried out simultaneously at BDR Darbar Hall in Pilkhana. Five witnesses gave depositions and were cross-examined by 22 accused.
At about 1:40pm, a jawan told the court that he was terribly feeling unwell and requested the court for urgent treatment.
“I am feeling severe pain in my head. It seems the Darbar Hall will act responsibly towards me,” said sepoy Touhidur Rahman.
The court said it is not possible to take him outside during the court proceeding and resumed its activities.
About five minutes later, the sepoy passed out and fell down from his seat. He was then taken to BDR Hospital for treatment as per the court order.
