In 1971, Pakistan's army and local collaborators established a war camp at Bangla College and killed thousands of people. Inside the college presently between the Big Gate and Shahid Minar a pond marks where the army killed civilians. The administration building was turned into a torture cell. Those shot lay near the low land of the (present) hostel. The Army beheaded fighters and civilians in the mango tree garden near the principal's residence. Heads would fall down on one side and bodies on the other. The genocide continued throughout the war. In the aftermath, the campus and its surroundings were filled with beheaded corpses and skeletons.[3][4]
