1. The document discusses the massacres of Biharis and other non-Bengalis in Bangladesh during the 1971 war by the Mukti Bahini forces. It provides estimates of 100,000 to 500,000 Biharis killed. 2. Eyewitness accounts detail horrific acts of torture and killings of Pakistanis and Biharis by the Mukti Bahini, including public executions in Dhaka stadium witnessed by cheering crowds. 3.

[10:47, 12/19/2019] Col Rao Saleem Desom 6 May 18:
"Mukti Bahini: the forgotten terrorists"
Mukti Bahini killed 100,000 Biharis (according to the
‘Chronology for Biharis in Bangladesh’) to 150,000 Biharis
('Encyclopedia of Violence, Peace and Conflict').
Qutubuddin Aziz, in ‘Blood and Tears’, has documented
170 eye-witness accounts of the ‘atrocities committed on
Biharis and other non-Bengalis’ across 55 towns, covering
‘110 places where the slaughter of the innocents took
place’. He estimated 500,000 killings by Mukti Bahini.

The most heart wrenching story was that of Masoom
Ahmad reported by an Indian columnist Saurabh Kumar
Shahi in his write up "History's forgotten orphans"
published in "The Sunday Indian" of 9 August 2009.
"As the mob came closer to our house", Masoom was left
with his wife and sister, recounts his uncle Zahir Siddique.
"With only one bullet left in his revolver, his wife asked
him to shoot her lest she be raped by the mob...
the next day Zahir found the bodies, the empty revolver
lay by Masoom's side. He stops the tale here and offers me
the last piece of Bihari Kibab. Who did Masoom shot? The

truth will go to the grave with Zahir. The Kebab tasted
awful"
According to a write up titled 'Mukti Bahini and Indian
Army were the initiator and executor of the genocide'
expressed in the Nepalese publication, the "People's
Review":
"After the fall of Dhaka, Indian Army and Mukti Bahini
arranged mass slaughter ceremonies of Pakistanis and
Bihari Muslims in Dhaka race ground. Thousands of Bengali
Muslims were also butchered who had sided with Pakistan
against India and Mukti Bahini.

In front of the cheering crowds of Mukti Bahini terrorists
and Indian army troops, one by one, these Pakistanis were
brought, tortured, their eyes taken out and they were
bayoneted in sadistic macabre..... "
According to Lawrence Lifschultz, South Asia
correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review, the
Mukti Bahini leader, Abdul Kader Siddiqui, “personally
bayoneted” non-Bengalis to death...
and the entire incident was filmed by foreign film crews
whom Siddiqui had invited to witness the spectacle.

"The Forgotten Massacres in East Pakistan"
American Professor Rudolph Rummel estimates that
150,000 Biharis were massacred by the vengeful victors of
Mukti Bahini in a brutal bloodletting in 1971. Mujib ur
Rehman supported the brutal killings by his own Mukti
Bahini.
In one of the incidents in Dhaka stadium, as a frenzied,
shouting mob of 5000 Bengali screamed encouragement,
young Mukti Bahini guerillas methodically tortured four
suspected Pakistani quislings.

For 30 minutes, the guerillas battered the bound bodies of
the helpless prisoners with kicks and karate blows with the
bayonets. Quietly and systematically, they began stabbing
their victims over and over again- all the time carefully
avoiding the prisoner's hearts.
After more than ten minutes of stabbing, the grisly
performance seemed at an end. The soldiers wiped the
blood from their bayonets and begun to depart. But before
they left the scene, a small boy- perhaps a relative of one
of the victims- flung himself on the ground...

10. 10

next to a prisoner's near lifeless body. In an instant the
guerillas were back, kicking the boy and beating him with
their rifle buts. And as he writhed, the child was trampled
to death by the surfing crowd.
This horrendous blood-letting took place next to Dhaka
stadium. The man who ordered the public killing and
personally saw the order being carried out is Abdul Kader
Siddiqui, the Mukti Bahini commander from Tangail.
During her interview with Mujib, Oriana Fallaci, the Italian
journalist, wanted to know what the Bangladesh leader
thought of the massacre.

The following conversation took place between Mujib and
Fallaci:
Mujib- Massacre? What massacre?
Fallaci- The one commited by the Mukti Bahini at the
Dacca Stadium…
[10:53, 12/19/2019] Gyrrrtte: there is a serious pakistani
failure here (1) HQ 16 Division as well as various
headquarters requested eastern command that AL SHAMS
and AL BADAR be given military unit status so that they are
covered by law (2) But our stupid ARMY thought there

12. 12
12
would be no surrender (3) As a result AL SHAMS and AL
BADAR who really fought with the Army were MASSACRED
as seen in picture (4) The other side of picture is that these
BIHARIS of AL SHAMS AND AL BADAR also killed a very
large number of BENGALIS (5) The IRONIC PART is that
BANGLADESHS GREATEST HERO Zia Ur Rahman was BIHARI
, related to my cosuins father in law also a bihari colonel --
so angry was zias father on is marriage with a bengali girl
from Cooch Bihar that he did not attend his sons wedding -
---Zias father stayed in pakistan and is buried in karachi - A
die hard pakistani till end-- later on many HARD CORE Al
shams and Al badar survivors FORMED HARD CORE
extremists of MQM

[10:55, 12/19/2019] Gyrrrtte: armys failure to protect AL
SHAMS and AL BADAR by according them military status
was a great and UNRECORDED Betrayal of Biharis by
pakistani state
[10:55, 12/19/2019] Gyrrrtte: had they been part of the
army they would have been protected by geneva
conventions
[10:59, 12/19/2019] Gyrrrtte: same could have appened to
pakistan army PWs but they were saved as protected by
geneva conventions--- plus as an indian retired officer told
me in afghanistan ---" being a largely punjabi army as well
as commanded by a punjabi , we had more sympathy with
pakistan army than the despised bengalis"

14. 14

[11:00, 12/19/2019] Gyrrrtte: interestingly surrender was
celebrated with great zest in 16 division headquarters and
colonel staff a good man organised a party along with
Indians where all liquor was consumed --- on repatriation
the colonel staff was retired on this charge --- although my
father always thought that he was a top class officer .
