 "Bangladesh 2024 uprising leader Sharif Osman Hadi dies in Singapore hospital")
A leader of Bangladesh’s 2024 uprising who was wounded in an assassination attempt and flown to Singapore for treatment has died in the city-state, officials said on Friday.
“Despite the best efforts of the doctors…, Mr (Sharif Osman) Hadi succumbed to his injuries,” Singapore’s foreign affairs ministry said in a statement.
Hadi was shot by unidentified assailants in Bangladesh’s capital while travelling in a battery-powered auto-rickshaw on Culvert Road in the Paltan area. He was initially rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital and later transferred to Evercare Hospital after his condition worsened.
On Saturday, he was flown to Singapore to receive advanced medical treatment.
Hadi, a member of the anti-Hasina platform Inqilab Manch and known for his outspoken anti-India views, was campaigning in central Dhaka’s Bijoynagar area when he was attacked. He is contesting as an Independent from the Dhaka-8 constituency. Police said the attackers fired multiple rounds before fleeing the scene.
Inquilab Mancha has been at the forefront of efforts to dismantle the Awami League. The interim government led by Muhammad Yunus disbanded the party in May this year, barring it from contesting elections.
The group has also been leading a campaign demanding the arrest of what it describes as “all terrorists” linked to the disbanded Awami League, from senior leadership to grassroots workers, while calling for protection of the so-called “July warriors”.
Meanwhile, the parents of the prime suspect, Faisal Karim Masud, were reportedly sent to jail on Saturday after submitting confessional statements in the attempted murder case related to the attack on Hadi.
