This opened the way to the looting of Ahmadi houses including that of the Head of the Community and of Sir Mohammad Zafrullah Khan. The last mentioned house is reported to have been looted by the Military itself working under the orders of Captain Magh Singh of the 2nd Rajput Regiment which was then stationed there. The houses of Lt. -Col. Dr. Ata Ullah and Major Mirza Daud Ahmad and Captain Mirza Sharif Ahmad and Mr. A. R. Dard, ex-Imam of the London Mosque, were also looted, not to speak of many others owned by other Ahmadies. 6. The ground was now ready for a general attack which was made on the 3rd of October, 1947, by thousands of Sikhs from the neighbouring villages aided and helped by the Police and the Military. Mohalla after Mohalla of Qadian was attacked resulting in about 200 Muslims being killed (including one uncle of a wife of the Head of the Ahmadiyya Community and one Assistant Secretary of the Central Ahmadiyya Organisation) and about fifty women being abducted and property worth lakhs of rupees being looted. The dead bodies of the killed were not allowed to be approached or buried by their brethern or co- religionists in order to hide the identity and exact number of those killed.
