Court sets 17 May for further investigation report in Hadi murder case

A Dhaka court has again deferred the date for
submission of the further investigation report in the case over the killing of
Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman bin Hadi, fixing 17 May for the next
hearing.
The report was scheduled for submission today (5
May). However, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) could not submit it
on the day. As a result, Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita
Islam set a new date for submission.
This marks the 13th time the investigating
officer has sought additional time to submit the further investigation report
in the case, confirmed Police Sub-Inspector of the Prosecution Division Md
Mamun Hossain.
Earlier, on 6 January, investigation officer
Faisal Ahmed, inspector of the Detective Branch, submitted a charge sheet
against 17 people. Later, on 15 January, the complainant and member secretary
of Inquilab Mancha, Abdullah Al Jaber, filed a petition of dissatisfaction. On
the same day, the court ordered a further investigation by the CID.
According to the case statement, Foysal Karim
Masud and Alamgir Hossain opened fire on Hadi while he was travelling in a
battery-run auto-rickshaw on 12 December 2025, before fleeing the scene.
Inqilab Mancha Member Secretary Abdullah Al
Zaber filed the case with Paltan Model Police Station on 14 December.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Siddiq Azad on 20
December ordered the inclusion of Section 302 (murder) of the Penal Code in the
case, which was initially filed as attempted murder, following Hadi's death on
18 December.
