It appears in the past 12 years no public conclusion has been drawn from the investigations. Combined with the original demands of the uprise and the number of custodial deaths, corruption appears to have won this battle despite heavy losses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.173.226.152 ( talk) 12:23, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
I just think it needs to be emphasised that as of today (February 27 2009) we can't assume the fatality figure included in the article is the final one. There is still a search for bodies taking place inside the Dhaka BDR compound and a whole bunch of people are missing. The number of dead may well rise significantly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.206.209 ( talk) 08:07, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
It is not at all clear to outsiders what the status of the BDR is. Is it paramilitary in the sense of the UDA in Northern Ireland or in the sense of the Canadian RCMP? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.8.29 ( talk) 16:56, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Not sure we can include RAB as the belligerents. -- Tarif from Bangladesh ( talk) 10:43, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

BDR surrendered on 26 February in Dhaka. So, the revolt should be from 25th to 26th February. Regards -- Tarif from Bangladesh ( talk) 04:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
A couple of things need to be dealt with. First, the final section of the article STILL talks about as many as "148" people being killed or missing. This was an inaccurate, exaggerated death toll released by the understandably confused authorities. The correct final toll needs to be substituted. Also, as of today (May 10 2009) a total of TWENTY arrested BDR mutiny suspects have died in Bangladesh police custody in extremely dubious circumstances. I think this deserves a mention in the article and contributors should stay alert to any further increase to this already alarming number of deaths, so as to update as necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.152.90.68 ( talk) 06:47, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
william gomes has expossed the raw involvement in the mutiny. on the other hand some people also claims that isi was involved. the article should have a section or some lines on this with proper reference — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.77.34.240 ( talk) 12:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
The page still has the uncited figure of 148 for deaths, which appears to date from very early versions of the page. The issue was raised at the top of the page then too!
The infobox supports 72 plus 7 missing, the text also contradicts itself by stating 148, then 78 in the next section, and at least one of the infobox sources, #1 is a dead link. The same paper, Las Vegas Sun, currently says 74 dead here. Checking, tagging and tweaking the refs right now. 220 of Borg 06:57, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
The "Trials and sentencing" section at present seems to say that the military courts were unable to prosecute the cases of killing of superior officers. This is presently sourced to this BBC article, which seems to say the issue was the maximum sentence the military courts could hand down. I honestly find both statements a bit doubtful, and think some more investigation is merited (along with better explanation in the article itself). It just seems extremely counterintuitive that military courts would be so limited in their powers, and I think most readers would find it at least odd. —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 07:30, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
This article could use a Background section, setting out, for example, a brief history of the BDR, their role and relationship with regular army command, and any grievances that may have been mounting in the months and years before the revolt. If there were prior incidents, these should also be mentioned. -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 21:23, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
I agree. This article needs a Background section. The numbers of soldiers involved is quite large and suggests prior grievances. To execute your commander and officers is not a spontaneous act of 6,000 non-commissioned soldiers who have just decided at that moment to act. It does sound as though it was a financial issue to do with bonus payments and lack of promotion opportunities. The article does mention corruption but these soldiers didn't seem to have had a political agenda. I don't know enough about the situation to write a Background section but hopefully someone out there does.
