A court in Dhaka has ordered a ballistics test on evidence from the killing of Inqilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi. The order came from Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Awlad Hossain Mohammad Junaid after investigators requested it. He specifically told the ballistics branch of the CID to examine the recovered items and give a full report. The evidence includes spent cartridges and objects believed to be bullets. Police collected these from the crime scene.
The victim, also known as Osman Gani, was thirty-three years old. He was shot near the DR Tower next to the Bijoy Nagar Box Culvert Road in the Paltan police jurisdiction. The attack happened after Friday prayers. According to the case details, he was walking from Motijheel Mosque toward Suhrawardy Udyan. Three people on a motorcycle followed him. The accused shooters are named as Faisal Karim Masud and Rahul Daud, plus one unidentified person. They shot him and then drove off.
He was first taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. His condition declined, leading to a transfer to Evercare Hospital. He was later airlifted to Singapore General Hospital for further care. He died there during treatment. His body was returned to Bangladesh via Biman Bangladesh Airlines. An autopsy was performed afterward. The case was originally filed by Abdullah Al Jaber, the member secretary of Inqilab Manch, for attempted murder. After the victim died, the charges were upgraded to include murder under section 302 of the Penal Code. The ballistic analysis is seen as a key step for the probe, potentially linking the evidence to a specific firearm.
