Realizing that they had lost the war, in a last ditch effort to exact revenge, the Pakistani occupation forces and their accomplices murdered many university professors, doctors, artists, writers, journalists and other prominent Bengalis, their Just two days before surrender.
They were systematically rounded up from their homes in the middle of the night, taken to torture chambers throughout the city, brutalized for hours, and finally gathered at various killing fields and killed all at once. Gone.
