The court took a statement from the auto rickshaw driver who was with Sharif Osman Hadi when he got shot. The driver, Kamal Hossain, was brought before the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate, Md Jamshed Alam, by the police. They requested his testimony be officially recorded because he witnessed the attack directly, calling it necessary for a proper investigation.
Hadi was a prospective independent candidate for the Dhaka eight constituency and a spokesperson for Inqilab Moncho. He was riding in a battery-powered rickshaw on Box Culvert Road in the Paltan area when it happened. Two people on a motorcycle pulled up and fired at him. He was badly wounded, taken first to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for surgery, then moved to Evercare Hospital. He was later flown to Singapore for more treatment, but died there.
Police said they identified the shooters from nearby security camera footage. They named Faisal Karim Masud as the gunman and Alamgir Sheikh as the motorcycle driver. The case was originally filed by the group's member secretary, Abdullah Al Jaber, at the Paltan Model Police Station.
