Arrest of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman

The first president of Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and most of his family were killed during the early hours of 15 August 1975 by a group of young Bangladesh Army personnel who invaded his Dhanmondi 32 residence as part of a coup d'état. Minister of Commerce Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad immediately took control of the government and proclaimed himself president. The assassination marked the first direct military intervention in Bangladesh's civilian administration-centric politics. August 15 is National Mourning Day, an official national holiday.

Bangabandhu Bhaban also known as Bangabandhu Memorial Museum or simply referred as Dhanmondi 32 was the personal residence of the founding father and President of Bangladesh. Sheikh Mujib was assassinated along with most of his family in the residence, and today it is a museum. It is located in Dhanmondi, Dhaka.

On 5 February 2025, the former residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, commonly known as Dhanmondi 32, was occupied and demolished by the protesters in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The building, which housed a museum and was considered a historic site by the Awami League supporters, was torn down by protesters during a period of intense political turmoil following months after the resignation of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The demolition followed an online press conference attended by Sheikh Hasina while in self-imposed exile in India, during which she addressed topics that protesters viewed as against national interests. This event occurred amid years of growing discontent regarding the political influence of the Sheikh family in the country's political landscape, and the rise of a cult of personality of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
