What Happened To Sharif Osman Hadi? Cause Of Death

• Hadi was killed by gunmen who were masked when he was leaving a mosque in Dhaka. He was shot on the ear, and was airlifted immediately to a foreign country to seek highly qualified treatment. The attack caused outrage and rekindled political violence issues in the country.
• Hadi was a senior leader of Inqilab Moncho, which was very critical of India, which has long been an ally of the previous Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was removed in the uprising of last year. Hadi was also gearing up to challenge the February 2026 parliamentary elections, the first national polls since the overthrow of the Hasina government.
• The interim government of Bangladesh, which was headed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, confirmed the death of Hadi and it was very sad. According to Yunus, the loss was irreparable and it could not be stopped by fear, violence, or bloodshed as the democratic process in Bangladesh cannot be turned back. The government declared national prayers in the mosques and declared a half day of mourning on Saturday.
• Those who carried out the attack have been on a manhunt by police. Two prime suspects have been issued, and the police have a five million taka bounty, which is approximately 42,000 dollars, on information that ends up in the arrest of the two. According to Yunus, the shooting has been planned by a strong network, which wants to disrupt the forthcoming elections.
• Bangladesh with a population of almost 170 million has nearly 300 members of parliament and 50 other lawmakers elected on reserved seats of women. The same day will also have a referendum on democratic reforms.

There are high rates of political tensions. The former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who was sentenced to death in absentia last month is still in India which has refused the request of Dhaka to send her back. On the other hand, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party headed by the former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia is bound to do well during the elections. Zia is already in intensive care in Dhaka and her son and political heir Tarique Rahman is returning to the country in 17 years in Britain on December 25.
