Akhira massacre

[2] In April 1971, a member of the Razakar forces, Kenan Uddin Sarkar of Ramchandrapur village under Parbatipur sub-division of Dinajpur district, assured 50 Hindu families of neighbouring Badarganj, Kholahati, Birampur, Aftabganj and Sherpur of a safe passage to India.

The Hindus were made to stand in a row beside a pond, the men in one line and the women and children in another.

According to eye witness accounts, after gunning down the men, the Pakistani soldiers turned their attention to the females, and brutally gang raped them at that spot.

The local people organize Milad Mehfil and Quran Khawani in memory of the dead.
