According to the case filed with the court of senior judicial magistrate Md Yarab Hossain, the four persons allegedly killed Hashem's father Goni Sheikh, brother Hamid Sheikh and cousin Abul Kashem in the middle of November, 1971. Sources said the court received the case and ordered the officer-in-charge of Rampal thana to take necessary action in this connection after investigation.

| #2 The Bangladesh civil war and India's support for the rebels is well-documented. I wouldn't feel sorry for any of the pro-Pakistanis who did all kinds of dispicable things to Bangladeshis before they lost the war. The pro-Pakistanis are responsible for about 80% of the jihadist activities and a huge percentage of criminal behavior in Bangladesh. |

| #1 If they keep that up, much of the older generation of Pakistan will find themselves up on charges -- how humiliating for the poor dears! |
