BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman on Saturday visited the graves of the slain army officers of the 2009 Pilkhana tragedy at the Banani Military Graveyard in the capital.

He offered fateha and paid homage to the military officers who were killed during the 2009 BDR mutiny at Pilkhana in Dhaka.

Tarique also joined a munajat, seeking salvation of the departed souls of the martyrs of the Pilkhana carnage.

On 25 February 2009, several hundred mutineers of the then Bangladesh Rifles (BDR), now Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), launched an armed rebellion at the Pilkhana Darbar Hall, killing 74 people, including 57 army officers.

Earlier in the same graveyard, Tarique Rahman also offered fateha at the grave of his father-in-law, Rear Admiral Mahbub Ali Khan.

Before that, Tarique visited the grave of his younger brother, Arafat Rahman Koko, at Banani Graveyard.
