Bangabandhu killers' gallantry awards revoked

The government issued a gazette notification Sunday revoking the state gallantry awards of four convicted killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

The gazette issued from the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs mentioned the absconding murderers- Noor Chowdhury, Shariful Haque Dalim, Rashed Chowdhury and Moslehuddin Khan.

For their contributions in the 1971 Liberation War, Noor was awarded the title Bir Bikram, Dalim with Bir Uttam, and Rashed and Moslehuddin were awarded the title Bir Protik.

Earlier the High Court ordered the government to suspend the state gallantry awards of the four convicted killers of the Father of the Nation.
