| Newly appointed BDR Director General Brig Gen Md Mainul Islam said yesterday video footage taken during the massacre in Pilkhana shows movement of some unknown people wearing BDR uniforms. Talking to The Daily Star over phone, he said the border guards who fled the BDR headquarters during the mutiny are being allowed to enter it after confirmation of their identity. The DG said 6,124 BDR men have been allowed to enter the headquarters since they began to report back. Of them, around 5,000 were allowed only yesterday. "We are checking and verifying their identity carefully so that no outsider can enter," Mainul said. The BDR personnel are kept at different places in the headquarters and supplied with foods. They are being allowed to join regular parade, but no official activities, he added. Replying to a query, he said only those BDR men who reported back within the stipulated time were considered for entry to the headquarters. |
