Supporters of Inqilab Manch organized a mourning procession in Dhaka’s Shahbagh on Thursday night following the death of their spokesperson, Sharif Osman Hadi, who succumbed to gunshot injuries while undergoing treatment in Singapore. The march began around 10:30 p.m., with participants chanting slogans and demanding justice for what they described as a targeted killing.

Hadi, a political activist known for his anti-hegemony stance, was shot in the head on December 12 in Dhaka’s Bijoynagar area by two assailants on a motorcycle. He was initially treated at Dhaka Medical College Hospital and later transferred to Singapore General Hospital for advanced care. Doctors confirmed his death at around 9:30 p.m. Bangladesh time on December 18.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage among his followers, who view him as a martyr. Authorities have yet to identify the attackers, and calls for a thorough investigation are growing amid heightened political tensions in the capital.
