Preparations have been finalized to repatriate the body of Inquilab Manch spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi from Singapore to Bangladesh. According to the organization’s announcement on Thursday night, Hadi’s coffin, draped in the national flag, will depart Singapore on a Bangladesh Biman commercial flight at 3:50 p.m. local time and is expected to arrive in Dhaka at 6:05 p.m. on Friday, December 19. A funeral prayer will be held on Saturday after the noon prayer at Manik Mia Avenue in Dhaka.
Hadi passed away on Thursday night at Singapore General Hospital while undergoing treatment for gunshot injuries sustained on December 12 after an election campaign event in Dhaka. He was initially treated at Dhaka Medical College Hospital and later transferred to Evercare Hospital before being flown to Singapore for advanced care. His death has drawn condolences from government advisers and renewed calls for restraint against political violence.
Authorities are expected to investigate the shooting incident further, while Inquilab Manch has urged supporters to remain peaceful during funeral proceedings.
