From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Munsi Kabir Uddin Ahmed was the superintendent of police of Comilla District who was killed in the Bangladesh Liberation War.[1] He was killed for refusing to give the Pakistan Army based in Comilla Cantonment the police armory.[2] He was posthumously awarded the Independence Day Award, the highest civilian award, in 2014.[1][3][4]

AKM Samsul Haque Khan, Deputy Commissioner, ordered the Superintendent of Police in Comilla District, Ahmed, to stop cooperating with the Pakistan Army.[5] On 24 March 1971, hours before the start of Operation Searchlight on 25 March, AKM Samsul Haque Khan was detained along with Ahmed.[6] He was never seen again.[6] According to Anthony Mascarenhas both of them were executed by Pakistan Army.[6]
