The chairman of the National Independent Investigation Commission, formed to reinvestigate the mutiny at the BDR headquarters at Pilkhana in 2009, has stated that the commission will seek permission to interrogate Sheikh Hasina in India if the Indian government does not repatriate her.
The commission's chief Major General (retd) ALM Fazlur Rahman made the statement during an event held at the RAOWA Club in the capital on Monday.
Speaking at the event, organized to exchange views with family members of the martyrs of the BDR massacre, he said, "It is not enough to claim that local and foreign entities were involved in the BDR massacre or to allege India's involvement. Concrete evidence must be presented to support such claims."
He assured that the commission will remain impartial while investigating the massacre.
"Over the past 16 years, many evidences related to the BDR massacre have been lost. What happens now will be open," he said.
Expressing the commission’s determination to complete the probe within three months, Mr Rahman said, there is no intention to extend the timeline, but an extension will be requested if deemed necessary.
"The commission is committed to ensuring justice for everyone involved," he added.
