Large numbers of people continued to gather late into Saturday night at the grave of martyr Sharif Osman Hadi, located beside the Dhaka University Central Mosque and adjacent to the mausoleum of national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam. Visitors were seen praying and waiting to view the grave, even after security barriers around the area were lifted earlier in the evening.

Police officials confirmed that night-time security would remain in place for safety reasons, restricting public entry inside the cemetery. Only prayers from outside the main gates were being allowed. Earlier in the day, Hadi was buried near the mosque following a funeral prayer at the South Plaza of the National Parliament, attended by thousands, including political leaders, university officials, and family members.

Authorities are expected to continue monitoring the site amid ongoing public interest. The heavy turnout reflects widespread mourning and public solidarity following Hadi’s death, while law enforcement remains alert to ensure order around the high-profile burial site.
