Haunted they rush out of BDR headquarters

Kailash Sarkar and Shaheen Mollah
Traumatised survivors of the bloody mutiny told hanowing tales of their two-day ordeal as they came out of the BDR headquarters yesterday.
One of the most horrific stories was told by Major Munir who emerged from a sewer manhole only a few yards off the Darbar Hall, a scene of carnage.
Munir recalled, as soon as firing began he ran for the nearest hiding place he saw— a sewer manhole.
"It was dark and smelly. I jumped into it and kept the lid shut but could hear the sound of gunshots. I stayed there without any food and light. I could not separate day from night," Maj Munir said.
After spending a night and two days amid uncertainty, he heard the announcement over a loudspeaker saying it was safe to come out.
Like him, several other officers and their spouses had similar experience of hiding in drains and bathrooms for about 33 hours. But most of them like Lt Col Sayeed were too shocked to recall their ordeal.
Some of the officers' spouses were taken to
large halls at the BDR headquarters and kept confined there during the mutiny.
Chhobi, wife of Maj Mokajed on duty in Chapainawabganj, said she along with her son was taken to the Quarter Guard, where she saw several other families.
"We were kept confined but provided with food. They (BDR jawans) allowed our children to play, "she said.
However, wives of other officers accused BDR jawans of looting their valuables.
Kamrunnahar Shampa, wife of missing Maj Maksudum, said BDR jawans looted all her valuables after she carrying her three-month old child fled to a neighbour's house.
BDR Deputy Assistant Director Abdul Mannan was in tears when he along with his family members came out of the BDR headquarters in the afternoon.
He was outside the headquarters when the mutiny took place. But his family members remained confined there.
Mannan feared that Assistant Director Abdul Awal and Deputy Assistant Director Masum Khan were killed in the carnage.
