Dhaka, Dec 18 (V7N) – The body of Inqilab Manch spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi, who was shot earlier this month and died while undergoing treatment at Singapore General Hospital, is being brought back to Bangladesh today (Friday).

Background of the Incident

Sharif Osman Hadi was shot on December 12 while heading to a public meeting in the Bijoynagar area of the capital. According to eyewitness accounts, two assailants on a motorcycle opened fire at close range before fleeing the scene.

The bullet hit Hadi in the head, leaving him critically injured. He was initially taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery, and was later transferred to Evercare Hospital for advanced treatment.

As his condition failed to improve, Hadi was airlifted to Singapore by air ambulance for specialized medical care. Despite intensive treatment at Singapore General Hospital, he later succumbed to his injuries.

Details regarding funeral arrangements and burial are expected to be announced by the family and Inqilab Manch after the body arrives in the country.
