It was at this Hotel Dalim, known as the "The Death Factory", that Mir Quasem tortured and killed the young freedom fighter Jashim and six others in 1971. Expressing their instant reaction, some of the survivors said they felt relieved and felt a burden had been lifted from them. One of them demanded that Quasem's assets be confiscated and used for the benefit of liberation warriors. Liberation War commander Md Ilias had been whisked away to the notorious Hotel Dalim at Old Telegraph Office Road in 1971. The moans and screams of the tortured detainees was a regular affair at Hotel Dalim, Ilias remembers.
