Bangladesh generals escape, one arrested

Bangladesh Army leadership is alleged to have facilitated the escape of three senior generals linked to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's regime. The generals—Hamidul Haque, T M Jobaer, and Kabir Ahmed—are reported to have sensitive intelligence on foreign involvement in regime change. Meanwhile, General Ziaul Ahsan was arrested on August 7, 2024, on orders from Army Chief Gen Waker-uz-Zaman, possibly due to his knowledge of telecom surveillance and intercepts.
