Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, known as the 'Father of the Nation' in Bangladesh, was shot dead on August 15, 1975, at his residence in Dhaka. Rahman, who had played a pivotal role in the country’s liberation from Pakistan in 1971, was the first President and later Prime Minister of Bangladesh. His leadership faced numerous challenges, including political unrest and economic difficulties, which led to discontent among military factions and political adversaries. The coup was orchestrated by a group of officers from the Bangladesh Armed Forces who were disgruntled with his government’s policies and perceived failures. During the coup, almost all of Rahman’s family members present were killed, with only two daughters surviving as they were abroad at the time.The military coup resulted in the rapid collapse of the democratic government established after the liberation and ushered in a period of military rule that lasted for several years. Following the assassination, Major General Ziaur Rahman, a military officer, would eventually seize power and alter the political landscape of Bangladesh. The brutal assassinations sent shockwaves throughout the nation and drew international condemnation, drastically affecting the political climate in Bangladesh for decades to come.
