A defence counsel yesterday claimed that the charge-sheet of BDR carnage case is "defective" and pleaded before a Dhaka court to reinvestigate the case.
"The charge-sheet placed before the court is defective. Reinvestigation into the matter is needed to find out the real accused," said Faruk Ahmad, one of the defence counsels of accused BDR jawans.
Faruk Ahmed made the appeal before the makeshift court, set up at Bakshi Bazar in the capital during the hearing of discharge pleas of the accused of BDR (now Border Guard Bangladesh-BGB) carnage case.
A total of 395 accused placed their discharge pleas till yesterday.
Judge Mohammad Zohurul Hoque of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court adjourned the hearing till July 13.
Faruk Ahmed claimed that the charge-sheet submitted in this case could not specify the time and location of the accused during the BDR mutiny on February 25-26 of 2009, which is very important to charge one.
He also said though the BGB headquarters in Pilkhana was not under Lalbagh Police Station, but the then officer in charge of the station filed the case.
Prosecutor Mosharaf Hossain Kajol, however, claimed that cases can be filed with any police station in connection with criminal offence.
About the allegation of defence counsel, he told journalists that, "As a defence counsel they can call for reinvestigation. But we have enough evidence to prove their (accused) involvement in BDR mutiny."
