The Bangladesh Mutiny was a violent uprising that occurred on February 25-26, 2009, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was carried out by a group of Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) soldiers against their officers.
A total of 137 army officers were killed in the Bangladesh Mutiny.
The exact reasons behind the Bangladesh Mutiny are still debated, but some of the contributing factors include poor living conditions, low pay, and lack of opportunities for career advancement for the BDR soldiers. There were also reports of long-standing grievances and tensions between the BDR soldiers and their officers.
The Bangladesh Mutiny was resolved through negotiations between the government and the BDR soldiers. The government agreed to grant amnesty to the mutineers and meet some of their demands, including an increase in pay and better working conditions. The BDR soldiers surrendered their weapons and returned to their barracks.
The Bangladesh Mutiny had significant consequences, including a temporary breakdown of law and order in Dhaka, resulting in looting and violence. It also led to a major reshuffle in the BDR leadership and a wider investigation into the incident. The mutiny also strained relations between the military and the civilian government in Bangladesh.
