Abu Saleh Mohammad Nasim Bir Bikrom (born 4 January 1943)[1] is a former Chief of Army Staff of the Bangladesh Army.[2] In 1996, he attempted a military coup of the caretaker government which was preparing for general elections. After failure of the coup in 1996, he was arrested, placed under house arrest, and subsequently dismissed from service. That year, the Awami League was elected to power in the government. It reverted Nasim's dismissal from the military and later provided him with an honorable discharge.
