Muhammed Abul Manzur, Bir Uttom (1940 - 1 June 1981) was a career army officer who was the BDF Commander of Sector 8 during the Bangladesh of War Independence in 1971. His connection to the murder of President Zia leading to the Coupe is not a proven fact. Then Army COS Hussein Muhammad Ershad, the mastermind of Zia's assassination, put a shoot to kill standing order on Manzurs life. He was killed shortly after being captured at the border. About a year later, H.M. Ershad took over the government in a bloodless coup, holding power until 1990.
