On February 2, 2004, Lt. General A. A. K. “Tiger” Niazi, one of the masterminds of Bangladesh Genocide had died in Lahore, Pakistan of diabetic complications. Full Name: Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi.
The disgraced Pakistani army General died at the age of 89 making him one of the oldest senior army officers who participated in 1971 to squash our legitimate fight for freedom to have survived that long!
To wash off his sin, Gen. Niazi wrote a memoir entitled “Betrayal of East Pakistan” [Oxford Univ. Press. August 1998. ISBN: 0185777271] in which he blamed the whole shebang of Rawalpindi Generals for the political trouble in erstwhile East Pakistan.
He correctly pointed out that the political crisis brought on by Z.A. Bhutto had to be solved by military might of Pakistani army. Nonetheless, the memoir engendered a furious debate about Niazi’s role in dismemberment of Jinnah’s Pakistan. The memoir was published 3 years before the leakage of Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report.

Niyazi was deported to West Pakistan after his surrender to Indian forces and Gen. Arora. he was in active politics for some time and during Gen Zia's dictatorship it was told he was poisoned by some government agency and died.

General Niyazi had become a scapegoat. So he was labelled as a villain. And what would have become to him is quite predictable.
