বঙ্গবন্ধু হত্যাকাণ্ডের পর যারা ব্যাংকক পালিয়েছিলেন এবং যাদেরকে কূটনৈতিক মিশনে পদায়ন করা হয়েছিলো তাদের তালিকা

The murders of the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family were carried out by small number of army personnel, led by certain retired and serving military officers.

That the identity of the officers involved can be derived from the list of army personnel who negotiated their departure from Bangladesh to Bangkok on 3 November 1975. Their departure followed a coup directed against the army personnel who were involved in the murder of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Among the persons who left for Bangkok from Bangladesh were :

  1. Lt. Colonel Faruque 
  2. Lt. Col. Rashid 
  3. Major Shariful Huq Dalim

That in a conference held in Bangkok, Lt. Col. Faruque acknowledged the responsibility for the murder of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family as well as for the killings in the Dhaka Central jail of Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmed, Md. Monsur Ali and A.H.M Kamaruzzaman. Such responsibility was once again claimed in a press interview published in the London Sunday Times of 30 May 1976 and in a TV interview in London on 2 August 1976.

The Report confirms the killing of 22 people including Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and members of his family on 15 August 1975. Among those killed were a girl aged 4 and a grandson of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman aged 3 and various guests, servants and relatives. In addition, on 3 November 1975 four national leaders were killed whilst in Dhaka Central jail.

The Report refers to a Government ordinance purportedly indemnifying those involved in the murders restricting taking of proceedings against them. Also noted was the setting up by the Government of a judicial Enquiry Commission into the murders in Dhaka Central jail, the registration of a police case in connection with such murders and failure the Government of publish any report by the Commission or action by the police.

The Bangladesh Gazette, noted, that overseas diplomatic appointments were given to persons involved in the murders.

That a police case had been registered in Lalbagh Police Station, Dhaka on 5 November 1975, regarding the killings in the Dhaka Central jail on 3 November 1975, It appears that after some investigation the matter was referred to the C.I.D. That despite the passage of more than six years, no-legal proceedings have been instanced against the persons concerned.

That in April, 1977 an Amnesty international Mission, led by Mr. Sean Macbrride, one of the members of this Commission, Visited Bangladesh, and in his meeting with the authorities, including the then President, discussed about the jail killing, and told that the law would be allowed to take its own course.

That thereafter, it appeared that the following officers involved in the murder, who had left Bangladesh for Bangkok on or around 3 September 1975. were given diplomatic assignments. The given diplomatic assignees were :

  1. Lt. Colonel Shariful Huq (formerly Major Dalim) 
  2. Lt. Colonel Aziz Pasha 
  3. Major Mohiuddin 
  4. Major Shahriar 
  5. Mojor Rashid Choudhury 
  6. Major Noor 
  7. Major Shariful Hussain 
  8. Captain Kishmat Hussain 
  9. Lt. Khairuzzaman 
  10. Lt. Abdul Majid

That appeared that the said persons had been confirmed in their posts as published in the Bangladesh Gazette.
