Osman Hadi murder: Further probe report submission deferred to 15 July

A Dhaka court has set 15 July for the submission of the
supplementary investigation report in the murder case over the killing of
Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Bin Hadi.
The report was scheduled to be
submitted today (28 June). However, the Criminal Investigation Department
(CID), which is conducting the further investigation, failed to submit it.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan
Magistrate Jashita Islam then fixed 15 July as the new date for filing the
report.
This is the 17th time the investigating officer has been granted more time to
submit the supplementary investigation report, confirmed Deputy Inspector
Rokonuzzaman of the Dhaka Metropolitan Prosecution.
Earlier, on 6 January, the case's
then investigating officer, Detective Branch (DB) Inspector Faisal Ahmed,
submitted a charge sheet against 17 people. Nine days later, the complainant,
Inquilab Mancha Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber, filed a no-confidence
(naraji) petition challenging the charge sheet. The court subsequently directed
the CID to conduct a further investigation.
According to the case statements,
motorcycle-borne assailants shot Hadi at around 2:20pm on 12 December in the
Box Culvert Road area under Paltan Model Police Station before fleeing. He
sustained critical bullet injuries to his head and below his right ear.
Hadi was first taken to Dhaka
Medical College Hospital and later shifted to Evercare Hospital. As his
condition deteriorated, he was flown to Singapore by air ambulance on 15
December for advanced treatment.
He died there on 18 December while
undergoing treatment.
Following the attack, Abdullah Al
Jaber filed an attempted murder case with Paltan Police Station on 14 December.
The case was later converted into a murder case.
