Hadi murder case charge sheet to be filed within 10 days: Environment adviser, DMP chief

The charge sheet over the murder of Inqilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi will be submitted to the trial court within the next 10 days, said Environment Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan on Saturday.

The entire trial process would be completed in the tenure of the interim government, she added while meeting Inqilab Moncho activists at a road blockade programme at the Shahbagh intersection. There the demonstrators are demanding justice for Hadi’s killing.

DMP Commissioner Sheikh Sazzat Ali accompanied Rizwana at the protest site to assure the demonstrators of government efforts in this regard.

The charge sheet will be filed by 7 January, he noted. “The murder was a mysterious incident, and likely involved a lot of people, the names and addresses of whom will be exposed,” the DMP chief added.

Adviser Rizwana addressed potential concerns over why the names of behind-the-scenes actors were being kept in the dark. “The government is working to ensure justice against all the culprits, but is standing face-to-face with the enemy.”

Caution must be ensured that giving away names or other information now does not ultimately assist the perpetrators, she warned. She referred to Hadi’s own message in this regard: any work that strengthens the enemy must be avoided.

India has also been approached diplomatically to extradite any fugitive perpetrator, and to this end, New Delhi has assured that if it finds any suspect it would certainly extend assistance to Dhaka, Rizwana added.
