Isn't this called "President's Guard Regiment"? I've seen that particular name used in newspapers and othe media. For example,
[1],
[2]. --

I think the official name is "President's Guard Regiment" (PGR)
[3]. There is also another elite force titled "Special Security Force" (SSF), which is given the task of protecting the VIPs
[4]. I assume the sources you mention were referring to the force's purpose rather than it's official name. --

This is the source. Now it dates to 1988, and it notes that it was designed by Ershad - now the presidency isn't executive anymore, so it is entirely likely that the force has been renamed and reorganized. Vishnava(talk)23:48, 20 May 2008 (UTC)reply
In any case, the official name as used by the Army and media in Bangladesh takes precedence of the factoid from 1988. I can't verify the name of the organization in 1988, and whether it has been renamed since then. --
