193 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্র : একাদশ খন্ড The horrifying tales of these people particularly of the women had brought tears in eyes of the freedom fighters. There is the young wife of an ex-teacher of the local Madrasa who after several months has been reunited with her infant son of the months. Her husband Abdul Latif a pious man of 40 who had taught ten Holy Koran to countless children in the neighborhood was put to death brutally for not parting with his wife when the Pakistani Officer demanded her. After that the poor woman was told that her husband was killed by Mukti Bahini and she was forcibly taken into Cpt. Ataulla's chamber. One of her children was bayoneted in her presence to force her compliance while the other two were whisked away. From then on for the next five months she was submitted to the most humiliating ordeal any woman can go through. After liberation of Bhurungamari. she was reunited with her youngest child, but her other children could not be traced. There cannot be a more heinous crime than what Pak army had done to Jamila Khatoon an innocent eleven years old who along with her mother, were taken captive by the Pakistani Army from a neighboring village a few days before the freedom fighters attacked Bhurungamari. Amina Khatoon. apparently over 40 years old. was in advanced stage of pregnancy when she was pounced upon as a prey to the lust of the Punjabi soldiers. On her resistance a Pakistani soldier brutally kicked her in the belly with his booted foot and in horrendous pain she gave birth to a still born child. Hardly a day later she was inhumanly subjected to repeated rape by the soldiers. Ebaruddin Mondal, who was one of the many males locked up separately in the School had his leg pierced through by bayonet for not obliging to part with his wife. Fortunately for him, as he found out after the liberation, his wife had managed to fun away and escaped the ordeal. Within hours after liberation she was helped by some Mukti Bahini soldiers to reunite with her husband. Everyone of 500 people who were held captive had similar miserable tales to tell. While the women were imprisoned in the office building they were not allowed even to go out to answer their natural calls when they wanted. The men and children were forced to work for the army, digging bunkers, cleaning the place and cutting firewood without wages or even proper food. Along with this human miseries for miles after miles around Bhurangamari areas one can see dry and withered paddy and jute stalks standing in mute evidence of the devastation wrought upon this once green and peaceful land by the marauding Pakistani soldiers.
