The black night of 25th March 1971
During that time the militant people of Dhaka city was in the mist of agony and apprehension about an uncertain future. Over and above. having tired when men have been steeping at dead of night the Pakisiani aggressors jumped upon the Bengla nation with their deadly weapons. The headquarters of E. P.R at Peelkhana and Rajarbag Police Line, Kamalapur Railway station. Sadarghat Steamer and Launch Terminal and even the slum areas of Dhaka City including Rokeya Hall & ect.

During that time the militant people of Dhaka city was in the mist of agony and apprehension about an uncertain future. Over and above, having tired when men have been steeping at dead of night the Pakisiani aggressors jumped upon the Bengla nation with their deadly weapons. The headquarters of E. P.R at Peelkhana and Rajarbag Police Line, Kamalapur Railway station. Sadarghat Steamer and Launch Terminal and even the slum areas of Dhaka City including Rokeya Hall. Salimullah Muslim Hall of Dhaka University was not escaped from the clutches of deadly kilting and devastations committed by the aggressive forces. Minions of sleeping unarmed people were killed. Thousand of month and sisters lost their modesty.

The aggressors attacked the E.P.R. headquarters at Peelkhana and Razarbag Police Line at dead of night with modem arms and ammunition, tanks, cannon. Though the sleeping members of the police forces were at a loss by such sudden and undeclared attack, yet within a few minutes they resided as far as they could like brave solders. Thousands of police were killed. Some fled away to save their lives. The Pak aggressors lined up the Bengali members of the East Pakistan Rifles (EPR) and killed them by machine guns. In all the cantonment including Dhaka the aggressors kilted their Bengali colleague soldiers and officers in the same manner. Many of them who disappeared are still untraced.

Ft. Sgt Mohammad Alwiur Rahim Bhuiyan, the husband of my cousin, used to reside with his family members at Balurghat Air Force quarters of Dhaka cantonment. In the second week of February, 1971 the West Pakistani Commander sent him to Sythet for 15 days. There the period of his stay was extended. In the meantime at the speech of Bangabandhu on 7th March the communication with his family members were detached. As a result, my sister left Cantonment on 12th March and came in her village house at Brahmnbaria. Good luck we may say,

if they would not leaves the house, The same fate would occur for them like other Bengalee families. On the contrary, my brother-in-law, Rahim Saheb. accompanying the Punjabi colleagues traveled a long way taking much pain, saved them from grudges of the Bengalees and helped to reach them Dhaka Cantonment. We had also correspondences with our brother-in-law. He used to attend office 2/3 days. Thereafter till today his whereabouts are not known. My brother-in-law would strongly rely on his western colleagues. He did not flee with his life. it can be easily perceived what was his fate. The Punjabees whom he helped to reach Dhaka Cantonment on foot encountering dangerous obstacles throughout the journey ruthlessly killed him.

In that night the girl students of Dhaka University halls committed suicide by jumping from the roofs of the halls. The lively Dhaka city turned into a dead city within a short time. The dreadful and destructive affairs of one night surpassed the hateful killings of Halaku Khan. Chenghis, Mussolini and others. But nothing could stop the Beangalees The fire of revenge flared up in their heart and soul- They began to flare up again with new inspiration and to make themselves ready for a war.
