#2 Over 90,000 Pakistani troops led by Gen Niazi surrendered to Indian Army in Dhaka. The troops were later released following the Shimla Agreement between Indira Gandhi and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

And Bhutto and Gandhi agreed to convert the Line of Control to the international border.. a promise that Pakistan did not keep.. it later launched a jihad against Indian Kashmir that continiues to this day. Musharraf wen't further, actually crossing the LOC to sieze Indian positions and triggering the Kargil war.
