All the Bengal Lancer T tanks left their units in the north of cantonment at around 10pm. At least 18 cannons and 28 tanks were gathered at the airport.

At the first hour of Aug 15, Major Syed Faruque Rahman ordered the officers to gather at the squadron office in the headquarters near the airport. Faruque, being the operation leader, shared the plan to the officers saying the main target was Bangabandhu's residence in Dhanmondi road No. They decided to block road No. He took charge of the attack on Senriabat's house instead.

Dalim set off on a jeep having a heavy machine gun installed on it, followed by a platoon of soldiers. Risaldar Moslehuddin Khan went to attack the residence of Sheikh Moni with two platoons of soldiers. Major Rashid waited with a company of soldiers to prevent any attack from the then Bangladesh Rifles in Pilkhana. The tanks did not have ammunition but the machine guns were loaded. Faruque entered the cantonment through the military check post in Banani with 28 tanks.

Two of the tanks followed him while others lost their way and went towards Farm Gate through Jahangir Gate. Faruque broke the wall at the west of the airport and appeared in front of the Rakkhibahini Headquarter.

The killers took the lives of Sheikh Moni and his pregnant wife. Before his house was attacked, Bangabandhu received the news of the attack at the house of Serniabat, his relative and also a cabinet member. That was the moment the killers attacked the house from its south. Mujib came out to the balcony and both Rama and Abdul woke up. Rama went down and saw some army personnel approaching the house firing.

Rama returned inside the house and found Mujib coming down in his night clothes while Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib was scared and rushing around. Sheikh Kamal came down to the ground floor after hearing everything while Sultana came to the first floor. Photo: Saiful Islam Kallol.

Bangabandhu could not finish his words, but bullets broke the window pane of the office room. Mahitul got his elbow hurt as the glasses were shattered by bullets that kept coming in.
