In July 1999, construction work was in progress for expansion of a mosque at Mirpur, Dhaka. Construction workers discovered skeletons, and the site was later confirmed to be a killing field from 1971. With assistance from the Bangladesh Army, the Liberation War Museum excavated the area, finding 5 skeletons and 1766 bones. In November 1999, in response to eyewitness statements, the Liberation War Museum excavated an abandoned pump house in Mirpur and found 70 skeletons and 5392 bones. The Liberation War Museum preserves this historic site, Jallad Khana.
