Authorities would take decisions about the acquitted 271 jawans after the settlement of another case filed against some of them, Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Maj Gen Aziz Ahmed said on Tuesday.
“Some of the acquitted jawans are accused in explosives act. We will consider their reappointment after the resolution of the case proceedings,” he said.
The BGB chief made the statement while talking to journalists after the special court pronounced its verdict in the BDR carnage case.
A total of 151 mutineers, including DAD Tawhid, have been sentenced to death for their involvement in the BDR carnage case of February 2009, which killed.
The court also sentenced 430 people to different terms of imprisonment and acquitted 267 others in the case.
On February 25, 2009, BDR Jawans spearheaded a 33-hour bloody 'rebellion' that left 74 people, including the then director-general of BDR and 57 top army officials, dead.
