The allegation surfaced after an audio recording was leaked, claiming that the prosecutor demanded one crore taka from the family of an imprisoned Awami League leader in exchange for securing bail. The accused prosecutor, Md. Saimum Reza Talukder, resigned three days before the government accepted his resignation and issued a formal notification on Monday.

Talukder denied the allegation and told BBC Bangla that he would face any legal process initiated by the government. The case in question involves former Awami League MP ABM Fazle Karim Chowdhury from Chattogram-6, whose war crimes case investigation has been completed and is awaiting submission to the tribunal.

Abdullah Al Jaber, member secretary of Inquilab Monch, stated that the planner behind the murder of Sharif Osman Hadi remains at large. Speaking at a press conference in Shahbagh, Dhaka, on Monday afternoon, he said that although the main accused has been arrested, the key planner and accomplices have not yet been detained. The organization also expressed a lack of confidence in the current administration’s handling of the case.

Jaber called for a separate investigation under the supervision of the United Nations to ensure impartial justice for Hadi’s killing. He said the group would formally request UN intervention from the government. According to him, recent political remarks and police behavior have created confusion and reduced the organization’s trust in the judicial process.

Authorities have arrested two individuals from West Bengal in connection with the murder, including prime suspect Faisal Karim Masud. The state police have filed a case against them for illegal entry into India, and both have been placed in 14-day police custody following their court appearance.

Inqilab Mancha has alleged that the masterminds and financiers behind the killing of Shahid Osman Hadi remain at large despite the arrest of the main shooter. At an emergency press conference held in Dhaka’s Shahbagh on March 9, the group’s member secretary Abdullah Al Jaber said they had confirmed the arrest of the prime accused, Faisal Karim Masud, in India. He described the arrest, which came 87 days after the murder, as a significant step forward but insisted that those who planned and financed the attack must also be exposed.

Jaber claimed that an earlier investigation by the Detective Branch attempted to suppress the case, but the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has since taken over. He said the CID confirmed efforts to bring the shooter back to Bangladesh and identify others involved. While thanking investigators for progress, he warned against political bargaining over the arrest and urged swift completion of international legal processes.

Reiterating the call for a UN-supervised investigation, Jaber said the government should update the public on whether the UN has agreed to take charge and what cooperation will be provided to ensure impartial justice.

West Bengal Police have filed a case against two Bangladeshi nationals, Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Hossain, for illegal entry into India after their arrest in connection with the murder of Sharif Osman Hadi, convener of Inquilab Manch. The two were detained near Bongaon, close to the India-Bangladesh border, and were found without Indian identification documents. They have been remanded to 14 days of police custody following their court appearance.

A police officer told BBC Bangla that the decision to hand over the suspects to Bangladesh does not fall under the jurisdiction of the state police. The Bangladeshi Deputy High Commission in Kolkata has requested consular access to meet the detainees through the Indian government. The officer added that, given the sensitive and serious nature of the case, the process could be completed swiftly through administrative cooperation between the two countries.

Preliminary interrogation revealed that the suspects fled Bangladesh after Hadi’s killing and entered India illegally through the Meghalaya border. Police are investigating whether others were involved in the illegal entry.
