Goar Mid at per ihe deacon of All Fing Movernrnt Committee, hr Along with Mcuufa Stained, a menber of ifa then IUfom«UfoMl®cUlA*aenhh.Tlpu and tew others went to Shaistaganj Food Godown to collect food for freedom fighters on April 29.
Around 12:30pm, Qaisar and his brother Faisal and three or four cohorts arrived in the storehouse and left within a few minutes, but after sometime, the accused came with Pakistani army forcing them to take hideout, said Gour.
As per the direction of Qaisar, his accomplices dragged out seven employees of the godown and Qaisar scolded them, said the witness. Qaisar and the army left the place leaving few army men to guard the employees.
Around 4:30pm, when he hid himself inside a bush near his house in Shaistaganj Puran Bazar, he saw Qaisar and Pakistani army intercepted a jeep and Qaisar and his cohorts dragged out two persons from the jeep, said Gour.
They were Awami League leaders Saleh Ahmed and Hirendranath Roy, said Gour, adding that Pakistani army had assaulted them physically following a signal of Qaisar before they took them to Laxamanpur.
Gour said, being frightened, he took shelter in a house in Laxmanpur village and from people, he heard that Shaleh and Hirendranath were shot dead near one Ramjan Ali's house in Laxmanpur.
He used to pass his days inside a big sugarcane field and nights inside the house, said Gour, adding that there was an army tent near Railway Bridge on Khoai River, which was 400/500 yards away from the house.
"Around 4:30pm on May 29, 1971,1 saw Qaisar Shaheb was standing on the approach road of the bridge and the seven employees of the food godown were lined up on the bank of the river," he said.
"Then Qaisar Shaheb made some signal with his hand and Pakistani army opened fire leaving the seven persons dead," said Gour, adding that later the cohorts of Qaisar had dumped the bodies in the river.
Gour said on June 2, he left the country for India, took training and joined the Liberation War under Sector 4.
The three-member tribunal led by Justice Obaidul Hassan adjourned the case proceeding until today, when Gour will face cross-examination.
