Another BDR jawan pegs out in custody
2009-04-17
[Bangla Daily Star] Yet another BDR jawan died in custody yesterday.
This is costing me a fortune in flowers, you know?
When you care enough to send the very best.
Havilder Kazi Saidur Rahman, 46, of 13 Battalion, arrested in connection with the February 25-26 BDR carnage, was the 13th jawan to die in custody.
Perhaps it's something in the water?
Only if they're being water-boarded ...
Meanwhile, 73 BDR men, 48 from Kushtia and 25 from Netrakona, were taken to the BDR headquarters yesterday for quizzing in connection with the carnage that left 75 people dead.
"Into the paddy wagon wit' youse!"
"Ummm... It's 3 a.m. Are we gonna die?"

Besides, 20 more BDR men were placed on a seven-day remand each while one BDR jawan confessed his involvement in the carnage to a magistrate.
"Dat's right, yer honor! I dunnit! Don't let 'em get me!"
BDR Director General Maj Gen Mainul Islam told The Daily Star, "Saidur died of cardiac arrest as part of the will of the Creator [The Almighty]. However, the autopsy report will confirm the cause of the death."
In the end, it's always heart failure, isn't it?
Meanwhile, Saidur's relative Kamruzzaman alleged that he died due to torture as several injury marks were found on his legs and knees.
Well, he didn't die of leg failure, did he?
Maybe it was insects?
Spiders .. why does it always have to be spiders ...
Saidur's wife Sheeuly Begum over telephone said, "I talked to my husband on April 5 and he said he was well."
They always say that just before the heart attack hits. It's one of the warning signs, y'know.
She said her husband was present during the carnage but fled the BDR headquarters.
"I'm outta here!"
He later joined the BDR headquarters.
"I'm back now."
Hailing from Dhuliha village under Harinakundu upazila in Jhenidah district, Saidur Rahman joined BDR in 1981.
"'At's right. 28 year I been here. Seen 'em come. Seen 'em go. Now I'm gone."
Asked about the injury marks, the DG said, "The mutineers used different ways to flee...they had to jump over walls and overcome various obstacles. Those might be the injuries sustained during the escape."
"A lot of 'em have those roofing nail injuries."
A press release issued by BDR public relation officer yesterday said Saidur felt chest pain around 1:00am yesterday.
"Jailer! Jailer! My chest hurts!"
That always worked for Kirk ...
He was taken to the hospital at BDR headquarters around 3:00am. When his condition deteriorated, he was moved to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) around 4:00am where doctors on duty declared him dead at 4:30am.
"Cheeze. That's terrible. I'm sure they did all they could for him. Who was the attending physician?"
"Dr. Quincy."

However, in the register of the deceased at DMCH it is mentioned that Latif, a ward boy of the BDR hospital, brought Saidur dead at DMCH around 4:30am.
"Dr. Quincy! Dr. Quincy! I think this guy's dead!"
"I ain't dead!"
"Shuddup!"

According to sources, a total of 13 BDR men died in custody since March 9 and of them seven reportedly committed suicide and six died of cardiac arrest.
Committing suicide leads to cardiac arrest, so you might as well put that down for all of them.
Meanwhile, Sepoy Zakir Hossain confessed to his involvement in the BDR carnage before a magistrate. So far, 37 BDR men have confessed before magistrates.
"Dat's right, yer honor! They confessed!"
"Hey! I didn't..."
"Shuddup."

About the 73 BDR men taken to Pilkhana yesterday, Maj Gen Mainul Islam told The Daily Star that they were present at Pilkhana during the carnage but later fled.
"Cheaply made boots, don't fail us now!"
"They were asked to join the BDR headquarters. But they joined elsewhere. They should be quizzed," the DG said.

Fred, I can make you a deal on blooming dandelions - that is, if the current snowstorm doesn't kill 'em. It usually doesn't - the only things harder to kill than dandelions are cockroaches. Don't have any of those, however...
