Sharif Osman bin Hadi, spokesperson of the Inquilab Manch and a key figure in the July revolutionary movement, was laid to rest beside the grave of national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam at the Dhaka University Central Mosque complex on Saturday, December 20, 2025. The funeral followed a public prayer at the South Plaza of the National Parliament, attended by thousands of mourners, fellow activists, and political figures. Hadi, aged 34, was fatally shot on December 12 while campaigning in the Bijoynagar area of Dhaka. He was initially treated at Dhaka Medical College Hospital and later transferred to Singapore, where he succumbed to his injuries on December 18. His death has sparked widespread grief and condemnation, with colleagues describing him as a courageous voice for political reform. Among those present at the burial were journalist Mahmudur Rahman and Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Prof. Niaz Ahmad Khan. The killing has intensified calls for accountability and raised concerns about political violence ahead of upcoming elections. Authorities have yet to announce any arrests or investigation outcomes.
