Abdullah Al Jaber, member secretary of the political-cultural platform Inquilab Moncho, has filed a no-confidence petition against the charge sheet submitted by the Detective Branch (DB) police in the murder case of the platform’s spokesperson, Shaheed Sharif Osman Bin Hadi. The petition was filed on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam in Dhaka through lawyer Mostafizur Rahman Mukul. The court accepted the petition and kept its order pending.

According to the plaintiff’s lawyer, the DB’s charge sheet failed to establish links between the alleged planners and the shooters, and did not reflect the scale of planning behind Hadi’s killing. The lawyer argued that the inclusion of a ward councillor as a suspect was insufficient and that the investigation overlooked key conspirators. The charge sheet, submitted on January 6 by DB Inspector Faisal Ahmed, named 17 accused, including six fugitives and eleven in custody.

The case stems from the December 12 shooting of Hadi in Dhaka’s Paltan area. He later died on December 18 in Singapore after being transferred for advanced treatment. The court will decide on the petition after reviewing the charge sheet’s admissibility.
