BDR men who fled during mutiny taken back to HQ

The Bangladesh Rifles authorities have started taking back the border guards, who fled from the headquarters during the mutiny and later joined different camps across the country.
Sources say 150 jawans have so far been taken back, while return of around 200 more is underway.
The move came after the headquarters had asked all the camps to send the jawans to Pilkhana, the sources add.
Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday arrested four more mutiny-suspects in the HQ.
Talking to The Daily Star, the BDR director (operation and training) confirmed the initiative and said the boarder guards are being taken back as part of official formalities because they were supposed to join here.
He however declined to say how many members had joined the camps outside the HQ.
Asked whether the BDR men are being taken back as suspects, the director said, "Until the investigation is completed, it is not possible to say who was involved in the carnage and who was not."
Contacted, Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Abdul Kahar Akand of CID, the investigation officer (IO) of the mutiny case, said the BDR men are being taken to Pilkhana as per a move by the BDR authorities.
"Until they are handed over to us, we cannot make any comment on them", the IO said. "Four more jawans were arrested in connection with the mutiny case," he added.
