DHAKA, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Mutinous members of a Bangladesh paramilitary unit have completed laying down their weapons at their headquarters in the capital Dhaka after an uprising that began on Wednesday, a government official said on Thursday.

"All the rebel troops have surrendered with their arms and the process has been completed," Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's media spokesman Abul Kalam Azad told Reuters after Hasina told the men in a national broadcast to go back to their barracks.
