DHAKA, Dec 15, 2025 (BSS) - A case has been filed with Paltan Police Station in connection with the shooting of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson and aspiring candidate for Dhaka-8 constituency Sharif Osman Hadi.  Confirming the matter on Monday, Paltan Police Station Duty Officer Sub-Inspector (SI) Nuruzzaman said a relative of Hadi filed the case as the plaintiff on Sunday night.  He added that Inspector (Operations) Yasin Mia has been assigned to investigate the case. According to police, the incident took place on Friday afternoon, a day after the announcement of the schedule for the 13th National Parliament election.

Police said two individuals involved in the shooting have been identified as Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Hossain. Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has detained three people including prime suspect Faisal Karim Masud's wife Samia in connection with the shooting of Osman Hadi.  The other detainees are Faisal Karim Masud's friend Monika and his brother-in-law Shipu. They were detained during separate raids conducted in Dhaka and Narayanganj over the last 24 hours, Wing Commander MZM Enthekhab Chowdhury, director of RAB's legal and media wing, confirmed. According to RAB, Faisal maintained contact with all three individuals both before and after the shooting. Enthekhab Chowdhury said Faisal spent the night before the incident with his wife in Narayanganj and left for Dhaka at dawn. He later went to the residence of his friend Monika. RAB also seized the motorcycle used in the shooting and detained its owner, Abdul Hannan, from Mohammadpur area in the capital. He was later placed on a three-day remand on Sunday. Sharif Osman Hadi is currently receiving treatment at Evercare Hospital in the capital. Meanwhile, the Interim Government has decided to send him to Singapore for advanced medical treatment.
