Soon after their arrival, the local collaborator blocked their exit routes out of Jathibhanga and informed the Pakistani Army.

The Pakistani army who had by then arrived in two military trucks, forced the fleeing Hindus to stand in lines and burst fired them using machine guns.

After the military left, the collaborators moved the corpses to near the Pathraj river and covered them with earth.
