As part of the ongoing investigation, Bangladeshi police have detained two individuals on suspicion of facilitating the suspects’ illegal border crossing. Officials said these individuals are being questioned to determine the extent of their involvement and whether a broader network assisted the escape. Law enforcement agencies have also intensified security along border areas and shared intelligence with relevant agencies to track the fugitives.
The killing of Osman Hadi, known for his outspoken views and role in student politics, has triggered widespread outrage across Bangladesh. Protests erupted in several cities, with demonstrators demanding swift justice and accountability. The incident has further strained public sentiment amid already sensitive regional dynamics.
In a significant diplomatic move, Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma to the foreign office in Dhaka. During the meeting, Bangladeshi officials formally requested India’s cooperation in locating and arresting the suspects if they are found within Indian territory. The ministry emphasized the importance of bilateral collaboration in combating cross-border crime and ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice.
While Indian authorities have not yet issued a public response, Bangladeshi officials expressed hope that existing extradition mechanisms and diplomatic channels would be utilized effectively. Police officials reiterated their commitment to pursuing the case until the suspects are apprehended, regardless of their location.
The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities promising regular updates as new information emerges. The case continues to draw national attention, highlighting concerns over border security, political violence, and regional law enforcement cooperation.
