During the war, for his political ambition, Emdad Kazi collaborated with the marauding Pakistan army. Khaled, the only brother of the two sisters, joined the Bengalee resistance guerrillas to fight against the Pakistan army. During a guerrilla operation Khaled was killed in a skirmish. The Pakistani captain ordered that the dead body of this young guerrilla should not be buried. It had to be kept on the embankment beside the river as a display to scare off the villagers so that nobody dared to oppose the army anymore. Nobody dared to bury Khaled's dead body. One night Rabeya, the sister, secretly proceeded to bury her brother. Rabeya was shot and killed. The villagers rose up. The Bengalee guerrillas won the final battle and declared Rabeya as a martyr.
