[Bangla Daily Star] Twelve members of Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) yesterday appealed to a Dhaka court to let them retract their confessional statements in the BDR mutiny case.The carnage at the BDR headquarters on February 25-26 left a number of BDR high officials including its director general dead.
Metropolitan Magistrate Rashed Kabir put the petitions in the file of the carnage case.
In the petitions, the BDR jawans told the court they were tortured mercilessly to give the confessional statements.
"How's your liver?"
"Um, fine I guess. Can I retract my confession?"

"How's your liver now?"
"[groan] I think I'm getting cirrhosis."
Meanwhile, 16 BDR jawans were shown arrested in the case yesterday and taken on a five-day remand each. They were arrested from Pilkhana headquarters after the February 25-26 bloodbath.
