Independent candidate and Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi was shot while campaigning in Dhaka-8 constituency on Friday afternoon. He was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital’s emergency department after sustaining bullet injuries. Police confirmed the incident occurred near DR Tower in Paltan’s Box Culvert area shortly after Friday prayers.
According to witnesses and political associates, unidentified assailants on three motorcycles opened fire at Hadi during his election campaign.

Election observers and rights groups have urged a swift and transparent investigation to ensure a violence-free electoral process.
