For a long time we went undetected by the police. However, one day we happened to quarrel with a fellow named Gaung Pya and he must have given information against us, because the neat morning at about 6 a.m., when we were burgling a shop selling steel trunks the police surrounded the shop and ordered us to come out. They called us by anme. “Chit Tin, Pathan Lay, Kyaw Win, Charteik. “Come on out”, they shouted. We did not obey, but instead tried to hide. Finally they entered and took us prisoners after giving each of u a severe beating. Kyaw Win received the greatest injuries. I was hit once and kicked on in the small of the back.
