A journalist has claimed that one individual involved in the shooting of Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inquilab Moncho and independent candidate for Dhaka-8, has been identified. In a verified Facebook post published late Friday night, journalist Julkar Nain Sayer stated that the suspect, Faisal Karim Masud, also known as Dawood bin Faisal, is a former vice-president of the Dhaka North Chhatra League and former president of the Adabor unit.

Sayer shared a photograph marking Faisal in a red circle, claiming he was seated next to Osman Hadi during a meeting on December 9, 2025. According to the post, Faisal is known to be a close follower of senior Awami League leaders Jahangir Kabir Nanak and Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal. Authorities have not yet confirmed the claim, and no official statement has been issued regarding the alleged identification.

The incident has drawn public attention amid heightened political tensions ahead of the upcoming elections. Observers expect law enforcement to verify the claims and provide updates on the investigation soon.
