At least 23 people, including Inquilab Mancha leader Abdullah Al Jabir, were injured on Friday when police used sound grenades, tear gas, water cannons, and batons to disperse protesters near Dhaka’s Hotel Intercontinental intersection. The demonstrators were marching toward the chief adviser’s residence in Jamuna demanding justice for the killing of former spokesperson Sharif Osman Bin Hadi. The confrontation turned the Shahbagh, Kakrail, and Paribagh areas into a conflict zone, halting traffic and forcing nearby shops to close.
Doctors at Dhaka Medical College Hospital confirmed that all 23 injured had leg wounds, likely from batons, and none were hit by bullets or sharp weapons. Witnesses said the clash began around 3:30 p.m. when students tried to break police barricades. Police said they acted to control the situation and denied any use of live ammunition. Authorities have deployed additional police, RAB, and BGB forces across key intersections and banned gatherings in the Jamuna area.
Inquilab Mancha has been staging a sit-in since Thursday, demanding a UN-led investigation into Hadi’s killing and vowing to continue protests until their demands are met.
