Hadi murder case: Report on further probe delayed for 14th time

A Dhaka court has set 7 June for the submission of the
further investigation report in the murder case filed over the killing of
Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, marking the 14th extension
granted to the investigating officer.
The court had earlier fixed today
(17 May) for submitting the further probe report in the case. However, the
Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the agency currently investigating the
case, failed to submit it.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan
Magistrate Jashita Islam then fixed the new date for submission of the report,
Sub-Inspector Ruknuzzaman of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Prosecution
Division confirmed.
On 6 January, Detective Branch Inspector Faisal Ahmed, the
investigating officer at the time, submitted a charge sheet against 17 people
in the case.
On 15 January, the complainant,
Inqilab Mancha Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber, filed a no-confidence
(naraji) petition against the charge sheet.
The court later ordered the CID to
conduct further investigation into the case.
According to the case statement,
Hadi formed the political-cultural platform Inqilab Mancha after the uprising
and served as its spokesperson.
At around 2:20pm on 12 December, assailants on a motorcycle shot Hadi in the
Box Culvert Road area under Paltan Model Police Station and fled.
He sustained serious bullet injuries to his head and below his right ear.
He was first taken to Dhaka Medical
College Hospital and later to Evercare Hospital for treatment.
As his condition deteriorated, Hadi was taken to Singapore by air ambulance on
15 December for advanced treatment.
He died there on 18 December while
undergoing treatment.
Following the incident, Jaber had
filed an attempted murder case at Paltan police station on 14 December.
The case was later converted into a
murder case.
