Inqilab Moncho leaders and activists staged a protest at Notun Bridge intersection in Chattogram, Bangladesh, seeking justice for their former spokesperson, Sharif Osman Bin Hadi. The blockade, initiated around 2 p.m. local time, caused disruptions in traffic flow at one of the city’s busiest junctions. Bakalia Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mohammad Solaiman confirmed the disturbance, stating that the activists’ road occupation effectively halted vehicular movement.
Protesters, including Kohinur Akhter from the Chattogram city unit of UP Bangladesh, voiced their grievances, highlighting the failure of authorities to apprehend the killers of Sharif Osman Bin Hadi. The brother of the deceased, Sharif Omar Hadi, accused a vested group within the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government of orchestrating the killing to disrupt the upcoming February 2026 polls. In a public address, Omar Hadi accused the interim government of complicity in his brother’s murder and attempting to sabotage the election process.
Demanding a swift trial for the perpetrators to maintain a conducive election atmosphere, Omar Hadi urged the Bangladeshi authorities to expedite justice delivery for Osman Hadi. Inqilab Moncho Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber reiterated the group’s ultimatum to the interim government, giving a 30-working-day deadline to identify and arrest those responsible for the killing. The platform threatened to escalate protests against the Yunus-led interim government if justice is not served for their slain spokesperson.
