A Dhaka court has set 7 June for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to submit a report on its further investigation into the murder of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam passed the order on Sunday after the investigation agency failed to submit the report within the scheduled time.
The court had earlier ordered a fresh investigation into the case on 15 January 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 filed the charge sheet on 6 January against 17 people, 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 2025 before fleeing the scene.
Inqilab Mancha Member Secretary Abdullah Al Zaber filed the case with Paltan Model Police Station on 14 December.
The case was initially filed as attempted murder. However, after Hadi died on 18 December, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Siddiq Azad ordered the inclusion of Section 302 of the Penal Code, relating to murder, on 20 December.
