Chattogram and Bangladesh Army court-martial record
Source-backed theme: alleged involvement in the 1981 Ziaur Rahman assassination court-martial record.
The public-interest value is understanding urban crime, political patronage, law-enforcement operations, and court-process history.
The profile records a source-backed court-martial linkage only. The cited reporting describes a controversial, rapid military trial and later debate over procedure and motive; it should not be read as a direct eyewitness finding that this person personally fired on Ziaur Rahman.
Next steps should add each case, claim, judgment, appeal, acquittal, or withdrawal in the evidence layer.
