Mohanpur Upazila: History
Mohanpur Thana was formed in 1917 and it was turned into an upazila in 1983.
The local Razakars established a camp in a madrasa at village Sankoa and conducted mass torture to the families of pro-independence fighters and other people of the nearby localities. The Razakars killed fighter Abdul Aziz in his residence at village Bihatra; they also sacked his house. In November the pro-independence fighters launched an attack on the Razakar camp and killed six Razakars.
