The 11th Infantry Division ( Bengali: ১১ম পদাতিক ডিভিশন) is a formation of the Bangladesh Army based in Bogra Cantonment. [1]
In February 1996, President of Bangladesh Abdur Rahman Biswas dismissed the General officer commanding the 11th Infantry Division G.H. Murshed Khan for insubordination and Brigadier General Hameedur Rehman of Bangladesh Rifles. [2] Chief of Staff of Bangladesh Army, Lieutenant General Abu Saleh Mohammed Nasim, revolted against the order leading to the 1996 Bangladeshi coup d'état attempt.

The 11 Infantry Division organized a cultural program with ATN Bangla in February 2014. [4]
