In the face of planned genocide, resistance war started all over the country; Thousands of Awami League leaders took refuge in neighboring India to save their lives. The East Bengal Regiment of the Pakistan Army, the East Pakistan Rifles (EPR), the East Pakistan Police, the Bengali members of the military and above all the freedom-loving people of Bangladesh formed the Mukti Bahini within a few months to liberate the country from the grip of the Pakistani military. By fighting in a guerrilla manner, the guerrilla forces kept the Pakistani aggressors busy all over the country. Bangladesh received substantial economic, military and diplomatic assistance from India during the War of Independence. [27] On December 3, India launched an air strike against India.
Then India got directly involved in the war of independence of Bangladesh. In the face of a joint attack by the Mukti Bahini and the Indian Army, the already defeated Pakistani army decided to call a ceasefire. On 16 December, at the Race Course Ground in Dhaka, Pakistan signed a surrender document with 93,000 troops instead of a sudden ceasefire. At that time Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi signed the document on behalf of the Pakistani forces. This marked the end of the nine-month bloody war of independence. Indian troops remain in Bangladesh for more than three months. Eventually, in the face of many diplomatic pressures, India was forced to leave Bangladesh.
