A convoy carrying the body of Sharif Osman Hadi, a student leader, who died after being shot in the head, moves along the crowd after the funeral prayer in Dhaka.
The death of Osman Hadi led to large-scale protests and violence in the country.

Overview

  • Dhaka Metropolitan Police named Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Sheikh as prime suspects and alleged they crossed via the Haluaghat route into Meghalaya with help from local associates.
  • Police in Dhaka cited informal reports that two alleged aides in India, identified as Purti and a taxi driver named Sami, were detained, though no official confirmation has been issued.
  • The BSF and Meghalaya Police rejected the claims as baseless, reported no evidence of any crossing from the Haluaghat sector, and said no arrests have been made in the Garo Hills region.
  • Diplomatic tensions intensified after India flagged thousands of incidents targeting minorities in Bangladesh and Dhaka dismissed those remarks as inaccurate, exaggerated and misleading.
  • Hadi’s December shooting and death after treatment in Singapore set off nationwide unrest that included arson at major newspapers, attacks on cultural organisations and communal mob violence, with activists pressing for swift arrests before February’s elections.
