Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police (DB) investigators are facing difficulties in uncovering the motive behind the attempted murder of Inqilab Manch spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi. Despite several arrests, authorities have yet to identify the mastermind or clear motive behind the shooting, which took place after Friday prayers in Dhaka. Shooter Faisal Karim, previously seen in Hadi’s election campaign, remains a key suspect.

Investigators revealed that Faisal and his associate Alamgir stayed at a resort in Savar’s Ashulia area the night before the attack, accompanied by two women. The next morning, they left for Dhaka, where Hadi was later shot. Police have arrested four individuals so far, including Faisal’s wife, brother-in-law, and a female companion from the resort, all placed on five-day remand by a Dhaka court. Another suspect, the motorcycle owner used in the attack, was earlier remanded for three days.

Hadi has been flown to Singapore General Hospital for advanced treatment. Authorities continue to probe the planned nature of the attack and possible political motivations.
