Our arms were tied behind our backs with our dastars & the army began to beat us so badly that some Singhs #d!ed from their injuries. We were taken to the chhabeel near Manji Sahib Divan Hall where a number of Singh's & numbers of the Sangat were already sitting. #NeverForget1984
We were made to sit with them on the parkarma. We heard from the soldiers while they were hitting us, “Your Bhindranwala tiger has been keeled & we’ve won the battle.”
A Bihari captain ordered the tanks to run us over & keel us. They turned the tanks towards us but suddenly a Muslim Major came & said in a loud voice, “What are you doing??!” The soldier on the tank said, “Our Captain Sahib has ordered us to keel them.”
The Major replied that all these prisoners have been put on a list & if any are keeled, the keeler would be held responsible. He had the Bihari's changed & the new posts began to make our lists.
We asked the Major for water but he said that if we survived, we should consider ourselves lucky. We stayed there all night in this state. The Major came a few more times in the night to ask how we were.
In the morning we were ordered to stand but because many of us were badly beaten, they fell over. They were then beaten more. In a line we were marched to the Seraa(n) area near Manji Sahib Divan Hall.
On the way we saw that the bodies of the Sangat were everywhere and some were still screaming in pain. No one was listening to them. The Soldiers were only picking up their own d3@d & wounded.
