Niazi along with a sizeable number of Pakistani soldiers were taken prisoner, and many would not be freed until two years later, with Niazi symbolically being the last prisoner of war to cross back to Pakistan.
Lt Jagjit Singh Aurora, General Officer Comma-nding (GOC), Eastern Command led the Indian forces and routed the Pakistani army in one of the swiftest operations ever and forced Lt Gen A A K Niazi, chief of Pakistan's Eastern Command, to surrender just within two weeks of the war starting.
Their commander, Niazi, appears to have been singled out, along with one aide, to be punished arbitrarily with dismissal and denial of pension, without being given the basic right to defend himself through a court-martial, which he asked for.

Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi, one of Pakistan's most decorated soldiers, died on Feb. 2 from cardiac arrest.
Niazi was a total failure as a soldier, later as a politician.
Niazi is, by all historical accounts, a devil in disguise for commiting genocide on civilians, for commanding a mass murderous intellectual killing project on the eve of his surrender, and no doubt a coward who surrendered to save his own life and his losing army.

The Yahya- Bhutto gang picked Niazi for this special mission as he was notoriously corrupted and immoral and was dumb enough to be their scapegoat in the war.
Niazi was a soldier and as such he fought a conventional war against Bangladeshi freedom fighters and Indian alliance forces.
