See this ridiculous link of timesofindia
They say:
"The preliminary interrogation of some of the rebels has thrown up the name of Salauddin Qadeer Chowdhury, a well-known shipping magnate and reportedly very close to the Pakistan military-intelligence complex and the opposition BNP. According to sources monitoring the situation, about one crore taka has already changed hands to help the mutiny along. "
Even though on the 1st march night at 2:25 IST they had this news online, I suppose no Bangladeshi media was aware of it.

Mutiny Over: now what?
Some important notes on the BDR mutiny:
After the day had passed things started to change. The Government officials and ministers started a negotiating process and decided to handle the whole matter rather politically. Few of the BDR jawans submitted their arms to the state minister and supposedly everything seemed to be ok.
But the next day everything was changed. Before that some people from he acquaintance in the BDR and ARMY claimed of genocide and mass rape and loot of the higher ranked army officers, their families and their households. Several online bloggers and even rumour were spread on these happenings.
Later in the afternoon that day, some dead bodies were detected and news od massacar was confirmed and the things started to change. Media started to sing in a different tone. The Army was ready with the TANKS and the prime-minister succeded to handle the matter without that much army involvement. Now the media was called by the Information minister and warned on the situation.
The shameless media people soon changed their motives.
Even tonight on the Chanel-One there was a media personel, editor of bdnews.com saying that the fault was not on the part of the media, but the mismanagement of the govt. Govt should have taken care of the matter. Even he said that such serious matters related t national security should have been dealt with more caution. Even he gave some examples of restrictions which the govt could put on the Media.
Whern the conductor related that point to the free information flow of as a govt. committment then he changed the notion and said that there should be no information Ministry. The media should not report/governed by the ministry. Even in the next sentence he claimed the presence of some regulatory body which he could not defintely figured out exactly. The unprepared or excited bdnews editor was most probably not the best person to be there.
Another program was going on in another chanel. Former BDR dg Anwar Hossain was present and he claimed there was no wrong with the ARMY officers.
We should not forget the dead bodies of the ARMY officers and the corruption allegation against them.
- TV and other Media started to claim the BDR mutiny as revolution against ARMY.
- Probably they did not know abut the genocide by the BDR
- The starter was shown as heroic by the media
- Sooner they advertised that ARMY had started to operate with helicopters and artillery
- BDR started to shoot the helicopters using machine guns
- There was a rumour of a curfew from 3:00pm
- The leaflets were found requesting the BDR to cease their revolt
