Their defensive position was on the other side of the Begwati River in Bishyakhali. There was a bridge over the river. At that time, the hungry freedom fighters were eating rice. Just then, the Pakistani soldiers attacked them. The freedom fighters left food and started a counterattack. They were not surprised by the sudden attack and bravely faced the Pakistan army. A bloody battle began and lasted the whole day. In the day-long battle, four people including Shafiquddin Chowdhury of the Mukti Bahini were martyred and several others were injured. On the other hand, many Pakistani soldiers were killed by the freedom fighters. Shafiquddin Chowdhury displayed extraordinary courage and heroism in the Battle of Bishyakhali.
