Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) volunteers were deployed on Saturday to assist law enforcement in maintaining order during the burial of Sharif Osman Hadi, convener of the Inquilab Mancha. The volunteers, wearing DUCSU security vests, took positions around the Dhaka University Central Mosque area, where Hadi was laid to rest beside the tomb of poet Kazi Nazrul Islam.

Authorities heightened security across Shahbagh, Katabon, Nilkhet, and the broader university area to prevent any potential unrest following the funeral prayers. DUCSU representatives stated that the deployment was a precautionary measure to ensure a peaceful burial and to avoid any untoward incidents. Witnesses reported a calm atmosphere as both volunteers and police coordinated crowd management.

The burial of Hadi, regarded as a martyr by supporters, drew significant public attention. Officials indicated that security measures would remain in place temporarily to ensure post-funeral stability in the area.
