Inqilab Mancha staged a demonstration demanding justice for its slain spokesperson, Sharif Osman bin Hadi, on Friday, January 16, with a large number of protesters in attendance.
The protesters brought out a procession from the Dhaka University Central Mosque premises after Jumma prayers.
During the demonstration, they chanted slogans including, 'We want justice,' 'Lal sobujer potakay, Hadi tomay dekha jay,' 'Amra sobai Hadi hobo, Juge juge lore jabo,' 'Tumi ke, Ami ke, Hadi, Hadi,' and 'Delhi na Dhaka, Dhaka, Dhaka.'
Earlier, on Thursday, a Dhaka court directed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Police to carry out further investigation into Sharif Osman Hadi’s murder case.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam passed the order after the complainant expressed dissatisfaction with the initial investigation and submitted a naraji petition (a no-confidence motion) against the chargesheet, requesting a further probe.
The court also ordered the submission of the investigation report by January 20, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Deputy Commissioner of Prosecution Miah Mohammad Ashis Bin Hasan.
Sharif Osman bin Hadi, a prominent figure of the July Mass Uprising last year, was shot in the head on December 12 while travelling on a rickshaw on Culvert Road in the capital's Bijoynagar area after Jumma prayers.
He initially underwent surgery at Dhaka Medical College Hospital and was later admitted to Evercare Hospital.
For advanced treatment, he was airlifted to Singapore, where he succumbed to his injuries on the night of December 18.
