The coming days were spent in Ghorahaat, Santahar Railway Station and Station Colony,” he adds. “I rushed to the railway station but saw a Bengali railway officer, Jalal Guard, prowling there with a spear in his hand.

I can’t tell the exact place but my mother was also killed during the massacre,” he narrates his ordeal.
