A court in Dhaka set February 19 for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to submit a report on its further probe into the high-profile murder of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi on Sunday.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam passed the order after the investigation agency failed to file the report on the scheduled date.
On 15 January 2026, the court directed the CID to carry out further investigation after the complainant expressed dissatisfaction with the initial probe and filed a naraji petition challenging the charge sheet submitted by the Detective Branch (DB) of police.
Inspector Foysal Ahmed of the DB had submitted the charge sheet on 6 January against 17 accused, including alleged shooter Foysal Karim Masud and his parents, Humayun Kabir and Hashi Begum.
According to the case statement, Foysal Karim Masud and Alamgir Hossain allegedly opened fire on Hadi while he was travelling in a battery-run auto-rickshaw on 12 December 2026, before fleeing the scene.
Inqilab Mancha Member Secretary Abdullah Al Zaber filed the case with Paltan Model Police Station on 14 December.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Siddiq Azad on 20 December ordered the inclusion of Section 302 (murder) of the Penal Code in the case, which had initially been filed as attempted murder following Hadi’s death on 18 December.
