Law enforcement agencies maintained heightened security on Saturday at the mausoleum of national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam beside Dhaka University’s central mosque during the burial of Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Shahid Sharif Osman Hadi. The decision to bury Hadi at this symbolic site was made at the request of his family and well-wishers.

Police, Ansar, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), and intelligence personnel were stationed from Shahbagh to TSC and around the central mosque area. The university’s proctorial team also joined the security operation. Entry to the burial site was restricted to law enforcement members, authorized university officials, and government-approved individuals, ensuring controlled access throughout the ceremony.

The strong security presence reflected authorities’ efforts to prevent any untoward incident during the high-profile burial. Observers noted that the arrangements underscored the sensitivity surrounding Hadi’s death and the symbolic importance of the burial location within Dhaka University premises.
