Witness: In 1971 , it was a night of Eid when I have heard the sound of vehicles and a lot of people. The Panjabis have killed the people by fire on that night. On the next morning I have heard and watched this. When the Razakars have seen me there they have shouted- why have you come at this side, and then we have seen that- they are digging a hollow on the ground and a lot of corpses were there. After watching a hand from those left bodies moving I have told him- don’t bury a live man. After taking the body to the roadside he has left the place.
