A Dhaka court on Wednesday placed Md Rubel Ahmed, an accused in the murder case of Inqilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman bin Hadi, on a six-day remand.

Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam passed the order after a hearing in the afternoon.

Earlier, the investigation officer of the case, CID Assistant Superintendent of Police Abdul Qadir Bhuiyan, produced the accused before the court and sought a 10-day remand for interrogation.

However, no lawyer representing the defence was present during the hearing.

According to the case statement, Sharif Osman Bin Hadi had been serving as the spokesperson of Inqilab Moncho, a political and cultural platform formed in the aftermath of the uprising.

On December 12, at around 2:20pm, assailants riding a motorcycle shot Hadi on Box Culvert Road under Paltan Model Police Station before fleeing the scene.

He sustained critical gunshot wounds to his head and below his right ear.

Hadi was first taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital and later shifted to Evercare Hospital. As his condition worsened, he was airlifted to Singapore for advanced treatment on December 15.

He succumbed to his injuries on December 18 while undergoing treatment there.

Following the incident, Inqilab Moncho Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber filed an attempted murder case with Paltan Police Station on December 14.

The case was later converted into a murder case after Hadi’s death.
