Two associates of Faisal, the prime suspect in the murder of Inkilab Mancha spokesperson Shahid Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, have been arrested in India, according to Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Commissioner (Crime and Operations) S N Md Nazrul Islam. He disclosed the information at a press briefing on Sunday at the DMP Media Centre, where he discussed progress in the investigation. Nazrul Islam said Faisal fled to Meghalaya, India, where local police detained his two aides. So far, eleven people, including Faisal’s parents, wife, brother-in-law, and girlfriend, have been arrested in connection with the case. Investigators recovered two foreign pistols, 52 rounds of ammunition, a motorcycle with a fake number plate, and cheques worth Tk 218 crore linked to 53 accounts. The official described the killing as premeditated and confirmed that six suspects have given confessional statements. The DMP expects to submit the charge sheet within 7–10 days, by January 7. Hadi was attacked on December 12 in Dhaka’s Paltan area and later died on December 18 while under treatment in Singapore.
