বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড When I told them I was a Hindu, they ordered me to kneel and they began to load their guns. I folded by two hands on my chest and begged them not to shoot, but they fired. The bullet went through my hands and the top part of my chest, and I fell to the ground and pretended to be dead." Ahmed Ali, aged 25, is a cultivator from the village of Diara, about 17 miles east of the Indian border. His right leg and left arm were in plaster casts. He said that about two weeks ago troops entered the village and rounded up all the able-bodied young men they could find, marching them to a small village nearby called Mahadevpur, about a mile to the west. "They asked us whether we were Bengalis or non-Bengalis and told us to lie down on the ground. They surrounded us and started shooting. A bullet hit me in the arm and I lay still. As they left, they bayoneted me in the groin, and crushed and stamped on my legs." Mr. Ali explained that he and three other villagers escaped with wounds and were eventually carried to the Indian border for treatment. Narayan Chandra Biswas another patient in the small CASA hospital and tea stall owner from Jessore, was rounded up by the West Pakistan troops and taken to central market place, where dissident Bengali police had executed an unknown number of West Pakistan civilians and non-Bengalis last month. The Army alleged that the tea stall owner was a policeman and a Hindu. He was made to kneed and the soldiers began to jab him with bayonets. He pointed to wounds all over his stomach and chest and said he fainted, being revived by friends after the soldiers had left him for dead.
