Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police (DB) announced that efforts are underway to bring back two suspects arrested in India in connection with the murder of Inquilab Manch leader Shahid Sharif Osman Hadi. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are jointly coordinating the repatriation process, according to DB Additional Police Commissioner Shafiqul Islam at a press briefing on March 22 in Dhaka.

The two main suspects, Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Hossain, were arrested on March 8 by the West Bengal Police Special Task Force in Bongaon, North 24 Parganas district. After a four-day remand, they were presented before the Bidhannagar Sub-Divisional Court on Sunday. During the court appearance, Masud claimed he was innocent and suggested the murder might be part of a political conspiracy.

At the same press briefing, the DB chief also discussed post-Eid security in Dhaka, noting that law and order remained stable and police patrols have been intensified across key city areas.
