The namaz-e-janaza of Inquilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi will be held at 2:30pm on Saturday at the South Plaza of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, said the Chief Adviser’s press wing on Friday night.

The government requested those wishing to attend the janaza not to carry any bags or heavy objects.

It also said that flying drones in and around the parliament complex will remain completely restricted during the funeral prayers.

Meanwhile, a decision has been taken to bury Hadi beside national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam on the Dhaka University campus, in line with the wishes of his family, said a separate Facebook post from Inquilab Moncho’s official page.

Earlier, the body of Hadi, who died at a hospital in Singapore on Thursday, arrived in Dhaka on Friday evening.

A Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight (BG-585) carrying his body landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 5:48pm, officials said.

They said the flight had departed Singapore’s Changi International Airport at 2:03pm (Bangladesh time).

Hadi was shot in the head on December 12 while travelling in a rickshaw on Culvert Road in Puratan Paltan.

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.
