And from GD Khosla's book Stern Reckoning

August 27, a Muslim mob assisted by two constables looted the shops in Bazaar Han Singh Nalwa. Dr Tej Bhan, a leading Medical Practitioner, was murdered by a Sub-Inspector of Police who first searched his house and then shot him and all members of his family who were at home.

The worst violence in Gujranwala occurred in the outlying towns and villages of Kamoke, Eminabad, Hafizabad, Ram Nagar (now Rasul Nagar) and Akalgarh (now Alipur). According to an estimate, two thousand Hindus and Sikhs were killed in Akalgarh alone and over two hundred women were abducted. There were about 150 non-Muslims killed in Kamoke. Their grain depots, flour mills and husking factories were looted and burned. Many took refuge in the Gurdwara of Dam Dama Sahib. Similarity the Sikhs of Eminabad took refugees in the Gurdwara Rori Sahib.

Gujranwala itself continued to be disturbed in June and July; and in August, like all other West Punjab towns, it rose to massacre and hound out its Hindu and Sikh population.  A peace meeting had to be called in Gujranwala on the 11th July at which Muslim League leaders including Mian Iftikharuddin and the Khan of Mamdot made very glib speeches about the virtue of neighbourliness and communal harmony.  But the Muslim audiences knew very well that all Muslim League leaders’ peace appeals, from Mr. Jinnah downwards were meant only to do a formality, to fool the Western world and to lull Hindus and Sikhs into a false sense of security.  Behind the scenes these very speech-makers were planning riots and organising and financing arson and murder.

In July stabbing attacks on Hindus and Sikhs occurred frequently.  There were also some attacks on Hindu-Sikh areas and arson was attempted.  But the Hindus and Sikhs of Gujranwala were a well organised and fearless people, and gave back to the Muslims better than they got.  Especially was the Gurdwara attacked, from which Sikhs kept their assailants well at bay.

With the approach of August 15, however the aspect of things began to change.  By the end of July when a Muslim Deputy Commissioner arrived to take over charge of the District, the Muslim determination to hound the Hindus and Sikhs out of the own was evident.  Officials, police and Muslim League were working in close co-operation to this end.  Hindus and Sikhs naturally sensed the imminent danger and tried to leave before loss of life occurred.  The Hindu-Sikh exodus became a general flight, for which even enough transport was not available.  On the 27th July stabbing of Hindus and Sikhs was going on frequently.  In the curfew if the Hindus and Sikhs came out, they were arrested, while Muslims went about armed, freely doing whatever mischief they liked.  Stabbing of Hindus and Sikhs went on with the police looking on.  Hindus’ and Sikhs’ houses were set on fire; even when the culprits who did this were arrested, the police did not take cognizance of the offence.  A secret order was issued by Mehar Ghulam Mohammed, Inspector of Police who went from Amritsar, to the Muslim policemen to kill all non-Muslim policemen.  Muslim police constables shot dead at sight any Hindu or Sikh.  Between the 11th and 17th August all Hindu and Sikh localities, such as Guru Nanakpura, Hakim Rai, Mandi Khajurwali, Brahm Akhara, Chauk Chashma, Sheikhupura Gate area, etc. had been burned.  The murder of Hindus and Sikhs occurred on a large scale. 

One of the most brutal and shocking murders was that of Dr. Tej Bhan’s family.  There were 14 members in their family.  Dr. Tej Bhan’s house was attacked by Muslim police, but the attack was repulsed.  Then Imdad Hussain Shah, Sub-Inspector came with more force.  The house was set on fire at which the inmates came out.  The men were first shot dead; and then the womenfolk with children in their arms.  Only one minor boy and one girl escaped.
