Major protests erupted across Bangladesh after the death of Sharif Osman Hadi. The Inqilab Moncho spokesman was a prominent July Uprising figure. Demonstrations occurred in Dhaka, Chattogram, and Barishal with demands for justice.
Students at Dhaka University led rallies, chanting slogans about resistance and freedom. They framed Hadi's death as a symbol against external influence. Protests also happened at Shahbagh and near the Indian High Commission. These actions included blocking major highways, causing significant traffic disruption.
Violent incidents targeted several institutions. Protesters set fire to the offices of two major newspapers, The Daily Star and Prothom Alo. Staff at one location fled to the roof before the fire services arrived. A house linked to former leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was also burned. Additional vandalism hit the cultural center Chhayanaut and properties connected to political figures in Uttara and Chattogram. Army personnel deployed at some sites as authorities worked to restore order.
