Killing squad
The Appellate Division held that the accused appellant was one of the
organizers of Al –Badar force at Chittagong, which was raised with the
aim and object of killing the pro-liberation forces and minority community-
the force is known as ‘killing squad’. The accused not only organized
the force at Chittagong, he had commanded the force and directly
participated in the perpetration of most barbarous acts unknown to human
civilization. He does not deserve any leniency on the question of sentence
on consideration of the nature and gravity of offence. The tribunal awarded
the sentence of death in respect of charge No. 11 which according to the
Appellate Division was ‘proportionate to the gravity of the crime.’
