Bangladesh Police Sunday filed a case against over 1,000 paramilitary Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) members who are suspected to be involved in a revolt on Wednesday.
Touriqul Islam, duty officer of Lalbagh police station in capital Dhaka, told Xinhua Sunday their chief has filed the case.
"Among over 1,000 BDR members, 6 members are named," he said.
The case is filed after the Bangladeshi government said they will form a special tribunal for quick trial of mutinous soldiers and provide them exemplary punishment.
Thousands of BDR soldiers staged revolt against their army officers on Wednesday leaving 64 army officers dead, and 71 still missing. The revolt came to an end on Thursday evening after a series of negotiations between the mutinous soldiers and government officials.
BDR, whose main task is to protect the borders, is under Home Minister, but its senior officers are all from the Army.
