In a surprising turn of events, Dhaka police claims that two main suspects in the killing of Bangladeshi student leader Sharif Osman Hadi fled to India through the Haluaghat border in Mymensingh city. However, both the Meghalaya Police and the Border Security Force (BSF) have rejected these allegations. Osman Hadi, a student leader and independent election candidate, was shot in the head on December 12 during an election campaign in Dhaka's Bijoynagar area. He succumbed to his injuries on December 18, sparking large-scale protests and violence in the country. The incident led to a massive manhunt, with Dhaka police naming Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Sheikh as the prime suspects. According to Dhaka police, the suspects crossed into India through the Haluaghat border and were allegedly assisted by local associates. However, Meghalaya Police and BSF officials have denied these claims, stating that no formal or informal communication has been received from Bangladesh police, and no arrests have been made. The situation has raised questions about the credibility of the allegations and the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in both countries. The incident has also highlighted the sensitive nature of international relations and the need for cooperation between countries to combat cross-border crimes. In related news, Inqilab Moncho, a platform led by Osman Hadi, has planned mega blockades across Bangladesh, warning of more agitation if the interim government fails to act in the matter. The incident has sent shockwaves across the country, with many calling for justice and accountability in the killing of the young student leader.
