A Dhaka court has again postponed the submission date for the reinvestigation report in the murder case of Inqilab Moncho spokesperson Shahid Sharif Osman Hadi. On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Joshita Islam set May 17 as the new date after the investigating officer, CID Assistant Superintendent of Police Abdul Kadir Bhuiyan, failed to submit the report. This marks the 13th postponement in the case.

Earlier, on January 15, 2026, the case’s complainant, Inqilab Moncho member secretary Abdullah Al Jaber, expressed dissatisfaction with the charge sheet filed by the Detective Branch and submitted a petition for reinvestigation, which the court approved. The initial charge sheet, filed on January 6, 2026, accused 17 individuals, including former ward councilor Taizul Islam Chowdhury Bappi and Faisal Karim Masud, the prime suspect.

According to the case details, Hadi was shot on December 12 in Motijheel while traveling after Friday prayers and later died on December 18, 2025, in Singapore while under treatment.
