Rashidul Hasan
After searching a sewer pipe for about 10 minutes, Chand Miah, a rescue worker, came out of a manhole near the No. 3 gate of the BDR headquarters and informed the rescue team leader that nobody was found there.
"Sorry, sir, I searched about 60 feet of the sewer pipe but did not find anybody.' Chand Miah told Major Afzal, who was leading a rescue team.
To rescue survivors of the gun attack during the mutiny, several rescue teams started searching the manholes around the BDR headquarters after the mutineers surrendered their arms on Thursday evening.
Major Afzal was carrying out the rescue operation shortly after midnight on
Thursday and the areas in and around BDR headquarters were plunged into darkness.
Very few people were seen moving in the areas around the BDR headquarters such as New Market. Zhigatola, Dhanmondi, Azimpur and Hazaribagh.
Several armoured vehicles of the army were seen standing at Shankar near the Abahani playground at about 1:20am yesterday.
As the rescue operation was going on, an army officer came over to Major Afzal and said, "Sir, 1 have specific information about one of the officers who managed to survive by hiding in a manhole."
"Yes, I have also got the same information. So, I am searching different manholes near No. 3 gate of the BDR headquarters," repbed Major
Afzal.
The surviving officer has sent an SMS (short message service) saying that he is now inside the manhole near the butcher s shop, the other officer told Major Afzal.
Then with the help of local people, the rescue team rushed to that manhole located near 5 No. gate of the headquarters.
Major Afzal also told this correspondent that they would inform him of the outcome of rescue operation later.
Another rescue team also went to the Azimpur graveyard on Thursday night with the hope to find any survivors hiding there.
Hovyever, the army officer who sent the SMS was finally found dead in a manhole yesterday morning, sources said.
