Pilkhana Victim families call for Inquiry Commission

On February 25-26, 2009, a massacre at Dhaka Pilkhana headquarters of the then Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) left 57 military officers and 17 civilians dead, including the head of the BDR, Major General Shakil Ahmed.
Fifteen years later, the families of the deceased are still seeking justice and transparency, urging the interim government to take decisive action.
At a press conference held on Saturday at Skyline Restaurant in Dhaka Mohakhali area, the families of those killed presented a series of demands, calling for the publication of investigation reports and formation of an Inquiry Commission to unearth the truth behind the brutal killings.
The press conference was led by family members who expressed their frustration with the ongoing delays in achieving justice.
