Agartala Conspiracy Case

A state prosecution that intensified nationalist mobilization in East Pakistan.

In 1968, the Pakistan government prosecuted Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and others in the Agartala Conspiracy Case, alleging plans to separate East Pakistan with Indian support. The case became a flashpoint of political anger, expanded solidarity across student and public spheres, and directly fed into the 1969 mass uprising.
