Mohiuddin Jahangir

Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir BS (Bengali: মহিউদ্দীন জাহাঙ্গীর) was a Pakistan Army officer who joined the Mukti Bahini during the 1971 Liberation War.

He was an officer in Sector 7 of the Mukti Bahini and was killed while attempting to breakthrough enemy defenses on the bank of the Mahananda River.

[1] Mohiuddin Jahangir was born on 7 March 1949 at Rahimganj, Babuganj upazila in Barisal district, East Pakistan.

He achieved scholarships in talent pool in his 5th and 8th grade, and he passed his SSC examination from Muladi Mahbudjan High School in 1964.

He managed to cross the border and joined the Mukti Bahini at Mehdipur under Malda district in West Bengal.

[citation needed] On 13 December, Jahangir divided his force into three groups in order to attack enemy camps at Chapai Nababganj and Rajshahi.

At this point Jahangir failed to establish any advantage over the enemy, so he continued with his team and crossed Mahananda and camped at Rehaichar before dawn.

He managed to get close to the bunker and throw a grenade, but was shot in the forehead by a sniper atop a nearby house.
