In Rajshahi, Bangladesh, protesters demolished the city Awami League office early Friday following the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, convener of the Inquilab Moncho. The attack began around 12:30 a.m. in Kumarpara and continued until dawn, with demonstrators reportedly using a bulldozer to destroy the building. The incident followed a night of rallies and slogans demanding justice for Hadi’s alleged killing.

Earlier, student and activist groups including July Moncho and NSCP marched from Rajshahi University and Saheb Bazar Zero Point, chanting anti-government and anti-Indian slogans. A verified social media post by Rajshahi University Central Students’ Union leader Salauddin Ammar reportedly called on supporters to gather and bring bulldozers to the Awami League office.

Local authorities have yet to confirm arrests or the extent of damage. Political observers warn the event could escalate tensions ahead of national elections, as opposition groups intensify criticism of the ruling party’s alleged authoritarianism and foreign policy stance.
