A medical board has been formed at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka to oversee the treatment of Sharif Osman Hadi, the independent candidate for Dhaka-8 constituency, who sustained a gunshot wound to the head. Hospital authorities confirmed that Hadi’s condition is currently stable but critical, and no further surgery is planned at this stage. The board, established on Saturday morning, is led by Professor Dr. Md. Zafar Iqbal, head of Critical Care Medicine, and includes senior consultants from neurosurgery and thoracic surgery departments.

According to Dr. Abdul Ahad of Dhaka Medical College, who is monitoring Hadi’s progress, the patient is under continuous observation and receiving medication and supportive care. Hadi was transferred from Dhaka Medical College Hospital to Evercare Hospital on Friday evening following family decisions.

The shooting occurred on Friday afternoon in the Bijoynagar area when unidentified assailants on a motorcycle fired at Hadi from close range. Police investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend the attackers.
