BDR Mutiny Case
15 cross-examine two PWs
Fifteen accused of a BDR mutiny case yesterday cross-examined two prosecution witnesses while one of the witnesses gave depositions against 40 accused at a special court set up in Darbar Hall of BDR Headquarters at Pilkhana.
Court proceedings, headed by BDR Deputy Director General Brig Gen Obaidul Haque, resumed after November 10 to try a total of 621 accused of 13 Rifles Battalion and attached signal sector.
Witness Nayek Abu Bakkar Siddique in his depositions screened video footage and photographs of 32 accused during the mutiny, with almost all carrying firearms and heavy ammunition.
Sepoy Faruk Alam said the photographed man, claimed to be him, was of another accused sepoy Monirul Islam.
When Obaidul asked Monirul, he denied the photo was his. The court later asked Faruk not to blame another to conceal own guilt.
Earlier, Prosecutor Lt Col Jayed Hossain pleaded to exonerate one of the accused late Nayek Md Hanif from the case, which the court accepted. Hanif died at Kashimpur Jail on November 11 due to cardiac arrest.
The court was adjourned till 10:00am today.
The charges against the accused include leaving the Darbar Hall during a Darbar on February 25, 2008, not informing higher authorities about the mutiny on time, disobeying lawful authorities and illegally taking up arms and ammunition.
CID charge-sheeted 138 accused of the case.
