All roads now lead to Turkey for Bangladesh’s military troops.

Bangladesh’s defence ties with Turkey are undergoing a marked deepening, signaled by a series of high-level visits and expanding military cooperation. Just days after Navy Chief Admiral Mohammad Nazmul Hassan departed for official engagements in Turkey and Russia, Air Chief Marshal Hasan Mahmood Khan has left for Istanbul to meet his Turkish counterpart and attend the International Defence Industry Fair. These visits follow the July trip of Turkish Defence Industry Secretary Haluk Gorgun to Dhaka, during which he met key Bangladeshi military leaders and discussed joint ventures, including the possible establishment of defence production complexes in Chittagong and Narayanganj.

Since 2018, Bangladesh has ramped up acquisition of Turkish military hardware, procuring howitzers, rocket systems, and drones, and is considering a further expansion of its arsenal. The growing partnership comes as Dhaka appears to recalibrate away from reliance on Chinese defence supplies, underlined by the recent cancellation of the Army Chief’s planned visit to Beijing. This evolving dynamic is expected to culminate in a formal agreement and an institutional framework to coordinate collaborative defence projects between the two countries.

According to the Chief of CM Vigilance, allegations of an investigation of IAS officer Pallav Gopal Jha are hypothetical.

Amid rampant speculation on social media linking senior IAS officer Pallav Gopal Jha to the ongoing multi-crore MPLAD fund embezzlement case, the Chief Minister’s Vigilance Cell has dismissed such reports as “speculative.” Senior Superintendent of Police Rosie Kalita confirmed to India Today NE that details cannot be disclosed as investigations are ongoing.

The case, which centers on the misuse of MP Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) funds in Assam, has ensnared several bureaucrats and construction committee officials. Legal proceedings began on July 14, 2025, with thirteen individuals named in charge sheets under various corruption and public procurement laws. Four of the accused appeared in court and were granted bail, while another, Sukanya Bora, had already been arrested.

Attention also remains on MP Ajit Kumar Bhuyan, whose interrogation drew fresh controversy. Bhuyan has denounced the probe as politically motivated, asserting that MPs only recommend projects for MPLADS funding, while actual implementation is the responsibility of district administrators. The case has prompted renewed debate over political accountability and the role of anti-corruption agencies in Assam’s governance.

The deadline for the Bangladeshi tribunal’s investigation into the murders from the previous year is October 15.

Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has ordered investigators to complete probes into seven major cases linked to last year’s deadly anti-discrimination protests by October 15. The cases, arising from violent clashes during the July–August 2024 student movement, name 45 individuals as accused, including several senior figures from the former Sheikh Hasina administration: ex-law minister Anisul Huq, ex-education minister Dipu Moni, former industry adviser Salman F Rahman, and former state minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak. The directive was issued during a recent hearing led by ICT Chairman Justice Md Golam Mortuza Majumder, following a request from Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam for additional time. According to the Dhaka Tribune, 39 of the accused were produced in court on the day of the hearing. The tribunal initially began with two cases in December last year, naming 46 individuals—including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina—but has now expanded its investigation to seven cases, all tied to the violent unrest sparked by demands to reform the government job quota system. Over 200 people were reportedly killed during the confrontations between law enforcement and predominantly student protesters.
