President Ziaur Rahman was violently assassinated by a faction of army officers at the Chattogram Circuit House during the early hours of May 30, 1981. This marked the second assassination of a President of the People's Republic of Bangladesh within a decade following the nation's independence. A key figure in this incident was Major General M.A. Manzur. It is important to note that after the assassination of President Ziaur Rahman, M.A. Manzur assumed responsibility for the entire event and orchestrated a rebellion in Chattogram. He also put forth four demands, which included the declaration of martial law. Furthermore, he proclaimed the establishment of a revolutionary council. However, M.A. Manzur soon lost control amidst the unfolding events. Subsequently, he was also brutally killed in the Chattogram Cantonment on June 2. Former army officer Major General (Retd.) Amin Ahmed Chowdhury Bir Bikram candidly discussed these events in 2012, 31 years after the assassination of President Ziaur Rahman. It is essential to highlight that Major General (Retd.) Amin Ahmed Chowdhury was a close associate of President Ziaur Rahman, both professionally and personally. He fought alongside Ziaur Rahman during the Liberation War in 1971.
