Bangladesh Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed announced that the accused in the Shaheed Osman Hadi murder case will soon be brought back from India. He made the statement on Friday at a press briefing following a discussion marking the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2026, held at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in Dhaka.

The minister said three of the accused have been arrested by the Indian government, reportedly in Kolkata, and legal proceedings are underway there. Bangladesh has already sent the necessary documents through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the extradition agreement. He expressed hope that the accused would be returned soon and that the incomplete investigation would be concluded with a charge sheet submission.

In response to questions, the minister also mentioned the arrest of Benazir Ahmed in Abu Dhabi, stating that relevant documents were sent to the UAE government within three days. However, no update has yet been received from the UAE authorities.
