BDR Carnage Case
Lawyer claims flesh of accused cut off
A defense lawyer of the BDR carnage case yesterday claimed before a session judge's court that flesh from his client's legs was cut off during remand.
When the lawyer, Faruk Ahammad, asked for the court's permission to bring the accused Havildar Yousuf Ali so that it could view the injury, the court refused, asking him to submit necessary medical documents to support his claim.
Earlier in the day, witness Havilder Bazlur Rashid claimed he saw jawans throwing off the bodies of Col Mujibul Haque and Lt Col Enayetul Haque from the third floor of a building.
Faruk claimed that Bazlur was lying as some bones in the bodies would surely have been found broken in the post mortem report after such a fall.
Bazlur refuted Faruk's accusation.
The court also recorded the deposition of Major Rawshanul Feroz, after he was cross-examined, where he elaborated his escape from Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) headquarters in Pilkhana during the carnage on February 25-26, 2009.
The makeshift court set up on the Alia Madrasa playground in the city's Bakshibazar was adjourned till tomorrow.
Fifty seven top and mid-ranking army officers of the erstwhile BDR, now Border Guard Bangladesh, and 17 others were brutally killed in the carnage.
