A list of 104 alleged collaborators of Pakistani occupation forces has been submitted to the deputy commissioner of Thakurgaon demanding their trial.
Dr Sheikh Farid, one of the organisers of Liberation War in Thakurgaon and Panchagarh and also the president of Thakurgaon Nagorik Committee, submitted the list Tuesday afternoon.
In absence of the deputy commissioner, Additional Deputy Commissioner Enayetullah Khan Yusuf Zee received the list.
Contacted, the complainant said the listed people with the help of Pakistani occupation forces were involved in war crimes in different areas under 10 police stations, including Panchagarh, under the then Thakurgaon sub-division.
He said the collaborators killed over 14,000 innocent people in different areas of Thakurgaon and Panchagarh districts during the Liberation War. They also raped women and set many house afire during the period, he added.
ADC Enayetullah Khan Yusuf Zee told this correspondent yesterday that the deputy commissioner asked him to verify the list and make a list of war criminals.
