People from different parts of the border were looted and killed by Pakistani forces to take shelter in India and buried their bodies in Pagla Dewan Boddhobhumi. On December 14, at the instigation of the then Razakars, Pakistani troops brutally killed 122 innocent villagers of Pagla Dewan. According to private data, Pakistani forces and their friends killed nearly 4,000 people, destroyed 1,000 women's dignity, and destroyed numerous houses in Pagla Dewan. Even after nearly 2-3 months of independence, no one could live here with the smell of rotten bodies. Upon hitting the fields, you would find half-melted bodies coming out of the ground. Many nearby villages, including Pagla Dewans, are still carrying signs of atrocities by invaders. About a hundred yards away, the camps and concrete Pak forces still stand.
