Staff Correspondent
Fifty more Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) jawans were placed on a five-day remand each for mutiny at Pilkhana headquarters while 100 more suspected BDR mutineers were arrested at Cox's Bazar battalion headquarters yesterday.
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court in Dhaka issued the order of remand after the Criminal Investigation Department, which is investigating the case, produced the BDR jawans before it with a prayer for seven days' remand for each of them.
Meanwhile, the 20-member army probe committee on BDR carnage submitted its report to the ChiefofArmy Staff General Moeen U Ahmed on Sunday without making any official announcement for public knowledge.
Sources said the report would not be made public but a copy of around 300 pages of the report would be handed over to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as she is also in charge of the defence ministry.
News agency UNB adds:The official enquiry committee on the BDR carnage is likely to submit its report today, said State Minister for Home Affairs Tanjim Ahmed SohelTaj.
"It may be submitted tomorrow," he told reporters at the home ministry yesterday after a meeting on law and order in Dhaka and its adjoining areas.
Different sources said the army probe body narrated the two-day mutiny and camage at the Pilkhana BDR headquarters.
The committee in its report also mentioned the background of the mutiny and how it was being developed gradually.
The committee described the carnage based on the accounts of dozens of BDR personnel who had vital role in killing, looting and torturing in Pilkhana on February 25-26 during the bloody mutiny that killed 74 people including 57 Army officers.
The committee also recommended formation of border guard force, strengthening functions of intelligence and compensation to the

Sources said the committee however did not draw any conclusion about whether any one or any quarter patronised or masterminded the mutiny from outside the Pilkhana headquarters. However, it has mentioned of some outside links of the BDR mutineers.
The committee was formed soon after the bloody mutiny ended on February 26.
Meanwhile, the national probe committee is also likely to submit its report within a few days.

The BDR men were later produced before a Cox’s Bazar court, which ordered to send them to jail.
