The Ministry of Home Affairs will form a committee within the next five working days to ensure justice for the BDR massacre, home affairs adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Jahangir Alam said on Tuesday.

Speaking at an urgent press conference at his ministry in the Secretariat in the morning, the adviser said that the committee would comprise retired judges, police officials, and members of the armed forces, with a majority representation from the Armed Forces.

While the committee would conduct a comprehensive investigation into the BDR mutiny, the decision to launch a reinvestigation remained under the jurisdiction of the court, the adviser said.

‘The committee will be tasked with a full-scale probe into the incident to uncover all aspects of the tragedy,’ he said.

The announcement comes amid growing calls for justice and accountability for one of the most tragic and unprecedented events in the country’s history.
