A serious betrayal: The BDR mutineers’ release is a disrespect to the fallen soldiers of the Bangladesh Army.

On May 15, 27 former Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) members walked free from Kashimpur jails in Gazipur, securing bail in a case linked to the 2009 Pilkhana mutiny. The revolt, which left 74 people dead, including 57 army officers, remains one of Bangladesh’s darkest chapters.
The judiciary’s decision to grant bail has sparked concerns over justice and institutional integrity, with critics calling it a betrayal of the Bangladesh Army’s fallen officers. The release raises questions about political expediency and historical accountability, as families of the victims continue to seek closure.

No bloodied hallway, Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman, the head of the Bangladesh Army, warns the Yunus-led interim government.

Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-uz-Zaman firmly rejected the proposal for a humanitarian corridor on the Bangladesh-Myanmar border, citing sovereignty concerns. Addressing officers in Dhaka, he criticized the Mohammad Yunus-led interim government for keeping the armed forces uninformed on key decisions.
National Security Adviser Khalilur Rahman denied discussing the corridor, despite previous statements linking it to Rohingya repatriation and aid to Myanmar’s Rakhine State. Gen Zaman also stressed that elections must be held by December, and warned against mob violence and lawlessness.
The officer corps largely backed Gen Zaman, signaling strong military opposition to the interim government’s handling of the issue.

In a significant battle in Chhattisgarh, 27 Naxalites were slain.

Security forces killed 27 Naxalites in a major gunfight in Abhujmad, Chhattisgarh, at the tri-junction of Narayanpur, Bijapur, and Dantewada districts. One District Reserve Guard (DRG) member was killed, and several personnel sustained injuries but are stable.
Sources suggest that Nambala Keshava Rao (Basavaraju), CPI (Maoist) general secretary, was among the dead, though official confirmation is awaited. The operation, involving DRG teams from four districts, was based on specific intelligence regarding Maoist leadership presence.
This marks one of the most significant anti-Naxal actions in recent years, bringing the total Naxal casualties in Chhattisgarh this year to 200, including 183 in Bastar. Search operations in the dense forest are ongoing.

A webpage supported by the DGFI in Bangladesh suggests “encircling India’s northeast.”

A recent analysis on bdmilitary.com, reportedly backed by Bangladesh’s Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), suggests that establishing a Rohingya Safe Zone could serve as a strategic advantage for Bangladesh, allowing it to exert influence over India’s northeastern states. The report frames Myanmar’s Rakhine State and India’s Siliguri Corridor as critical access points that could enable Dhaka to apply geopolitical pressure, disrupting transit routes and military mobility. The analysis also highlights potential support from China’s Belt and Road Initiative and U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, while acknowledging domestic political opposition. It further proposes securing UN mandates and investing in border security enhancements to legitimize and operationalize the plan.
