Ramesh Chandra and his family of eight were going through horror, locked in their sprawling house in Brahmanbaria as intermittent waves of marauders were being held at bay with boiling oil, jaggery or water poured from the roof.

They waded through streams, coaxed boatmen to cross wider and deeper water bodies, and walked until they reached Tripura. After a short stay, they walked to Assam, where they had relatives.
