Cops are publicly casting doubt on reports that the main suspects in the Sharif Osman Hadi shooting have fled to India. During a press conference with multiple security agencies, police official Khondoker Rafiqul Islam stated that claims about suspect Faisal Karim Masud and an accomplice escaping the country might just be a misdirection play. He explained that law enforcement does not have solid info on their current location or confirmation of any border crossing, suggesting criminals often spread false info to hide. They are investigating the possibility that the suspects are still inside Bangladesh.
The victim, Sharif Osman Hadi, was a July Uprising leader and a prospective independent candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency. He was shot on Box Culvert Road in the Paltan area of the capital, sustaining a critical head wound. After initial surgery at Dhaka Medical College Hospital and a transfer to Evercare Hospital, he was airlifted to Singapore General Hospital for further treatment, where he later died. His body was returned, and he was buried beside the grave of Kazi Nazrul Islam on the Dhaka University campus.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Additional Commissioner Shafiqul Islam confirmed the main accused's identity was established the night of the incident, prompting the arrest operation. Authorities have arrested ten individuals so far in connection with the murder. The investigation remains active, with police probing the validity of the escape rumors while continuing their pursuit.
