On 14 June 1971, the Pakistani army in collaboration with the Razakars, killed 63 Bengali Hindus in the village of Adityapur in Sylhet district.

On the early morning of 14 June, almost two hours before the sunrise, a contingent of Pakistani army consisting of 25 to 30 soldiers arrived in the village of Adityapur in four tanks.

Then they announced through loudspeakers that they arrived in the village to constitute a local unit of the Peace Committee and distribute the dandy cards among the minority Hindus.

The Hindus were forced out of their houses at gunpoint and made to assemble in front of the Adityapur Government Primary School.

The number of dead were counted and identified in front of national and international media and then brought back to Adityapur again.
