BDR Mutiny / Pilkhana Massacre

On 25-26 February 2009, a mutiny by Bangladesh Rifles personnel at Pilkhana in Dhaka turned into one of the deadliest internal security crises in Bangladesh's history. Senior army officers seconded to the force were killed, families were trapped inside the headquarters, and the newly elected government faced an immediate test of authority only weeks after the end of emergency-era rule.
