Hadi’s death has once again thrown Bangladesh into chaos as the country prepares to hold its first national elections following the violent uprising that ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. Read on for more information on this subject.
Violent unrest has gripped Bangladesh since last night.
Violent unrest has gripped Bangladesh since Thursday night following the death of radical anti-India activist and leader Sharif Osman Hadi in Singapore. The angry mob set fire to prominent media outlets, cultural centers and even the house of former Bangladesh president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Amid the turmoil, a Hindu man was reportedly lynched and burned to death over allegations of blasphemy; This incident was condemned by the Bangladesh regime led by Muhammad Yunus. What happened after Hadi’s death is eerily similar to what Faisal Karim, the man who allegedly shot him, predicted before killing him.
According to media reports, Karim told his girlfriend at a resort outside the capital Dhaka the night before the attack that something would happen that would “shock the whole of Bangladesh”. Hours later, Karim and two accomplices shot Hadi in broad daylight in Bangladesh’s capital. Hadi was hospitalized and remained in critical condition for several days. He was then flown to Singapore, where he died after days of treatment.
Hadi’s death has once again thrown Bangladesh into chaos as the country prepares to hold its first national elections following the violent uprising that ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. Osman Hadi was an anti-India leader and spokesperson of the Inqilab Mancha organisation. He was also an independent candidate from Dhaka-8 constituency. Parliamentary elections in Bangladesh are planned to be held in February 2026.
