A special court in New Delhi has remanded two Bangladeshi nationals, Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Hossain, to the custody of India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) for 11 days. The pair were arrested in West Bengal and brought to Delhi on transit remand before being presented in court on Tuesday. They are accused of involvement in the killing of Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, spokesperson of the Bangladeshi Inquilab Mancha, who was shot dead in Dhaka on December 12, 2025. Authorities said the suspects entered India illegally through the Meghalaya border and were detained while attempting to return to Bangladesh via Bongaon.

During the hearing, the NIA argued that the illegal entry could be linked to a larger conspiracy requiring detailed investigation. The court also raised questions about its jurisdiction over the case. Investigators suspect that the murder might have international dimensions and that the accused may have received shelter or assistance while in India.

Indian intelligence agencies are also examining whether the case is connected to a broader sabotage plan, which has drawn attention to security and diplomatic implications between India and Bangladesh.
