The military coup in Bangladesh on August 15 of 1975 was launched by mid-ranking army officers in order to assassinate founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,whose administration post-independence grew corrupt and reportedly authoritarian until he established a one-party state-based government led by the socialist party Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League. Mujib,along with his resident family members,were killed during the coup but was survived by his two then-expat daughters,one of them being future prime minister Sheikh Hasina. The officers were led by Capt. Abdul Majed,Maj. Sayed Farooq Rahman,Maj. Khandaker Abdur Rashid and Maj. Shariful Haque Dalim.
The 3 November coup d'état was a military coup in 1975 by Brig. Gen. Khaled Mosharraf against President Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad to remove the assassins of Sheikh Mujib from power and Mostaq from the Presidency. It was the result of a power struggle between the regime of Mostaq Ahmad and the mid-ranking officers backing him,Capt. Abdul Majed,Maj. Syed Faruque Rahman,Maj. Khandaker Abdur Rashid and Maj. Shariful Haque Dalim,and Mosharraf and the high-ranking officers supporting him,Col. Shafaat Jamil,Lt. Col. Abu Taher Mohammad Haider and Col. Khondkar Nazmul Huda. The high-ranking officers were worried about army discipline with "junior mutinous officers issuing orders from the presidential palace". With the coup,Mosharraf promoted himself to the rank of major general and the post of Chief of Army Staff after placing Maj. Gen. Ziaur Rahman under house arrest while the mid-ranking officers went on exile,as was agreed upon between the belligerents. The coup lasted 3 days,after which A. S. M. Sayem was installed as president while Mosharraf served as the Chief Martial Law Administrator.

It was formed on 8 November 1975,following the assassination of Brig. Gen. Khaled Mosharraf on 7 November amid a nationwide soldier and public uprising against his 3 November coup d'état. After a three-day coup with support of some high-ranking officers and his Dhaka Brigade,Mosharraf had forced Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad,who,following the 15 August coup that assassinated the founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,replaced him as President of Bangladesh with support of the mid-ranking assassin officers,to resign. Chief Justice Sayem,with the constitutional requirement for the direct election of the president and role of the vice-president as acting president suspended by Mostaq under a martial law proclamation,had been installed in his place. With Mosharraf's death the responsibility of CMLA fell on Sayem.
