Law Minister in Bangladesh says the Investigation Report will Determine the Mode of Trial


Law minister Shafique Ahmed on Monday said that investigation report of the February 25-26 rebellion at the Bangladesh Rifles headquarters would determine the mode of trial of the culprits involved in the massacre of officers.

He said that the government was handling the case with an iron hand and would do everything necessary for fast tracking the trial of the perpetrators.

‘We are handling the case with an iron hand. A fast-track trial will be ensured…There is a provision for court martial under the Army Act, 1952, which is also applicable to any force raised and maintained under the authority of the government,’ Shafique Ahmed, a technocrat minister, told reporters at his office.
He, however, said, everything would be depending on the results of the investigation being conducted by the legal authorities. ‘Even how much time will be required before initiating the trial also depends on the inquiry reports.’
The minister said that the mode of trial and its process would be determined by the report of the Criminal Investigation Department of Police since two other teams – one led by the army and the other set up by the home affairs ministry – were also probing the February 25-26 bloody rebellion.
