Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir BS (Bengali: মহিউদ্দীন জাহাঙ্গীর) was a Pakistan Army officer who joined the Mukti Bahini during the 1971 Liberation War. He was born on 7 March 1949 in the village of Rahimgonj under Babugonj Upazila of Barisal district, East Pakistan. He was an officer in Sector 7 of the Mukti Bahini and was killed while attempting to breakthrough enemy defenses on the bank of the Mahananda River.[citation needed]
His initiative seriously undermined the Pakistani Army's resistance in the area; eventually allowing, the Mukti Bahini to overrun the positions of the Pakistan Army. The main gate of Dhaka Cantonment, "Shaheed Birsreshto Jahangir Gate", is named in his honor.[citation needed]
