A court in India has granted the National Investigation Agency (NIA) an additional 45 days to complete its investigation into three Bangladeshi nationals arrested for illegally entering India through the Meghalaya border. The accused are reportedly linked to the murder of Bangladeshi activist Sharif Osman Bin Hadi. On June 19, a vacation judge ordered that the three—Rahul alias Faisal Karim Masud, Alamgir Hossain, and Philip Sangma—be placed in judicial custody for three days following their earlier detention by the NIA.
The NIA told the court that it had recently received new records from the West Bengal Police’s Special Task Force and additional documents from the Supreme Court on June 8, which required further analysis and cross-verification with the accused. The defense lawyer opposed the extension, but the court accepted the NIA’s reasoning. The agency had previously interrogated the suspects for several days under its custody.
The case stems from the December 12, 2025 killing of Hadi in Dhaka, which sparked unrest across Bangladesh. Investigators say the suspects fled to India after the murder and were later arrested in March while attempting to return to Bangladesh.
