DHAKA, Jan 5, 2026 (BSS)– The charge sheet in the sensational murder case of Inqilab Mancho spokesperson and July Uprising frontline fighter Sharif Osman bin Hadi will be submitted to the court on Wednesday,  26 days after the brutal killing.

Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury confirmed the matter, saying the investigation has reached its final stage.

“The charge sheet in the murder of Sharif Osman bin Hadi will be submitted on January 7, 2026,” he said, adding that the case would be transferred to a speedy trial tribunal to ensure justice within the tenure of the interim government.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Commissioner (Crime and Operations) SN Md Nazrul Islam also confirmed the submission date earlier, noting that the investigation was nearing completion.
“So far, 11 people have been arrested in connection with the killing, and six of them have given confessional statements under Section 164 of the CrPC,” he said.

The arrested suspects include the alleged mastermind Faisal Karim Masud’s father Humayun Kabir, mother Hasi Begum, wife Shaheda Parvin Samia, brother-in-law Wahid Ahmed Shipu, and alleged girlfriend Maria Akter Lima. Other arrestees are Md Kabir, Nuruzzaman Nomani alias Ujjal, Sibion Dio, Sanjoy Chisim, Aminul Islam Raju, and Abdul Hannan.

Police said the murder was premeditated and the main accused, Faisal Karim Masud, and his accomplice Alamgir Sheikh reportedly fled to India after the attack.

“Faisal and another individual fled to India by crossing the border through Mymensingh,” SN Md Nazrul Islam said.

During the investigation, police recovered two foreign pistols, 52 rounds of ammunition, a motorcycle, fake number plates, and cheques amounting to TK 218 crore linked to 53 bank accounts.

Additional Commissioner of the Detective Branch (DB) of DMP Shafiqul Islam said several individuals involved in the killing have already been identified, though all names cannot be disclosed at this stage to protect the integrity of the investigation. Based on current findings, police believe the murder was politically motivated.

Earlier on December 12 last, Hadi was shot around 2:20 pm on Bijoynagar Box Culvert Road under Paltan Police Station while heading toward Suhrawardy Udyan after conducting a campaign from Motijheel Mosque. 

According to police, Faisal Karim Masud and an accomplice opened fire on Hadi while he was riding in a motorcycle.

Critically injured, Hadi was first taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital and later transferred to Evercare Hospital. 

As his condition deteriorated, he was flown to Singapore on December 15 and died on December 18 while undergoing treatment at Singapore General Hospital.

Following the attack, Abdullah Al Jaber, member secretary of Inquilab Mancho, filed a case with Paltan Police Station on December 14 on charges of attempted murder, criminal conspiracy, and use of dangerous weapons. 

After Hadi’s death, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Siddique Azad on December 20 ordered the inclusion of Section 302 (murder) of the Penal Code in the case.
