After elections which took place in 1971, Sheikh Mujeeb of East Pakistan gained majority but in West Pakistan Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was chosen by public. Bhutto didn't accept victory of Mujeeb. This conflict resulted in riots and ultimately army intervention was made by Pakistan in East Pakistan. India took advantage of this situation and attacked Pakistani borders. This whole scenario resulted in separation of East Pakistan from West Pakistan.

Why did Bangladesh break away?

The main reason for Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) breaking away from Pakistan (then West Pakistan) was due to the cultural differences. The Bangladeshis had a dark complexion, and were thought as inferior to the East Pakistanis. According to them, as they had a larger population, they should have more representation than East Pakistan. West Pakistanis also complained their resources were being stripped of and sent towards East Pakistan, especially Punjab and so, when a devastating cyclone hit Bangladesh, East Pakistan offered slow help, if any. They also denied India to aid them and thus, all these factors being unfulfilled led to Bangladesh coming into existence.
