Noorjahan Kakon Bibi Bir Protik (Bengali: কাঁকন বিবি, Khasi: Kaket Hanchiata)[1][2] was a Bangladeshi[4] freedom fighter and secret agent of the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971.
[5][6][7] Noorjahan Kakon Bibi (originally named Kaket Hennyata, other sources state Kaket Hanchiata) was born in a Khasi family at Nayrai Khasia Palli, Meghalaya, India.
The Pakistani Army captured her in a bunker and she faced inhuman physical and mental torture for many days.
She lost hope of finding her husband and joined Muktibahini (the guerrilla resistance movement formed by the Bangladesh military, paramilitary and civilians during the War of Liberation).
[citation needed] In April 1971, Kakon Bibi was captured by the Razakars while spying in Bangla bazar in the region of Dowarabazar Upazila.
With that ID card she started going to the Pakistani camp more often and with greater ease and supplied the freedom fighters with important information.
She died of pneumonia at Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital on 21 March 2018.
