A new twist in the investigation of the murder of Hadi! Jubo League leader Khaled Mahmud’s murder weapon
New information is emerging about the masterminds behind the assassination of Sharif Osman bin Hadi, one of the frontline organizers of the July uprising and convener of the Inqilab stage. According to the intelligence agencies, the name of Jubo League leader Khalid Mahmud Bhuiyan, the supplier of the two weapons used in the murder of the former upazila chairman Shaheen Ahmed aka ‘Shaheen Chairman’ has emerged as involved in the main planning and implementation of this murder.
Recently, a new controversy has arisen around the killing of Inkilab Manch spokesperson Osman Bin Hadi, based on the recent comments of former West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee. After his speech, discussions intensified in the political and diplomatic arenas in both Bangladesh and India.
The central government of the country had a special intervention to provide protection to the accused directly involved in this sensational murder – his comment immediately caused a stir. Even ‘who was killed? Who’s name came out? Know it all… such a statement is like pouring ghee on fire.
At a public meeting in Kolkata, Mamata Banerjee claimed that the central government had a role in the accused in a Bangladesh-linked murder case and had remained silent for a long time. He pointedly said that although he knew some names and information, he did not disclose them due to the sensitivity of the situation. The topic of the mastermind or the mastermind behind the Hadi assassination comes into renewed discussion around this comment.
It has been informed by the government of Bangladesh that efforts are being made to resolve the matter through diplomatic channels and initiatives have been taken to bring the accused back to the country and bring them under trial. Investigative agency CID said the investigation into the case is nearing completion and the process of bringing back the suspects who are abroad is underway through international legal assistance.
Meanwhile, different claims and counter-allegations have been raised from various parties related to the case. The leaders of a political organization complained,There are indications of international involvement in the killings. On the other hand, the investigators say that the matter is still pending and all the information is being verified.
After Mamata’s statement about Osman Hadi’s murder, which has been suppressed for a long time, there has been intense curiosity in the public mind. The main question in everyone’s mind is who is the real mastermind or planner of Hadi’s murder? Who was involved in this murder? The police officers involved in the investigation said that the investigation of Hadi’s murder is being done very seriously. However, due to the international and political sensitivity, the police did not agree to make any final comments about it.
They said the murder was not a common crime. It was a far-reaching premeditated murder. A secret meeting was held in Bangladesh shortly before the assassination. In that meeting, plans were made to kill Hadi and three others. The spy of an international intelligence agency warned about this, “You should be careful.” When the accused of this murder were caught in India, they were remanded and interrogated, but it is alleged that a lot of information was hidden from the investigation team in Bangladesh.
Crime experts feel that common people are now very aware of the benefits of social media. When a newly-former chief minister of a neighboring country directly hints at the involvement or cover-up of the home minister of the country, it deepens the suspicion that the killings took place under the ‘hidden umbrella’ of India. Hadi was basically one of the pioneers of anti-India politics.
As a result, whether there is any deep political connection behind this murder is the biggest question of the time. After Mamata Banerjee’s statement, the people of both countries now want the real truth behind Hadi’s assassination and the name of the real mastermind to come out immediately.
In December 2025, Osman Hadi was publicly shot dead in an area of the capital. He later died while undergoing treatment at the hospital. There is long-standing tension and discussion in the country’s political arena centered on this murder.
By the way,This sensational murder happened just 20 hours after the announcement of the schedule of the Thirteenth National Assembly elections. On the afternoon of December 12, 2025, on the way back after the public Friday prayers, two riders on a motorcycle targeted Hadi and shot him in the head with a very close range. He later died on December 18 while undergoing treatment at the Singapore General Hospital.
This young man was one of the coordinators of the Rampura area of the July mass uprising and later became a protesting voice of the Indian anti-supremacy movement. Being an independent candidate from Dhaka-8 seat and gaining immense popularity in a short time was a cause of intense discomfort for the constituency.
After Mamata’s statement about Osman Hadi’s murder, which has been suppressed for a long time, there has been intense curiosity in the public mind. The main question in everyone’s mind is who is the real mastermind or planner of Hadi’s murder? Who was involved in this murder? The police officers involved in the investigation said that the investigation of Hadi’s murder is being done very seriously. However, due to the international and political sensitivity, the police did not agree to make any final comments about it. They said the murder was not a common crime.

A secret meeting was held in Bangladesh shortly before the assassination. In that meeting, plans were made to kill Hadi and three others. The spy of an international intelligence agency warned about this, “You should be careful.” When the accused of this murder were caught in India, they were remanded and interrogated, but it is alleged that a lot of information was hidden from the investigation team in Bangladesh.
According to CID sources, the investigation has revealed the whereabouts of a signed check of Rs 218 crore. The check points to the financing behind the murder. It has been learned that Majedul, an arms dealer of Chittagong and Helal of Savar, were remanded. After crossing the border, the pistol used in the murder changed hands five times and reached the hands of Faisal Karim Masood, the former central leader of the Chhatra League.
According to the source,Faisal, the former Chhatra League leader, was bailed out of jail under special pressure to make this specific killing mission a success. In January 2026, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DB) filed a charge sheet against Faisal Karim Masood alias Rahul and 17 others in the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court. However, the plaintiff in the case (Member Secretary of Inkilab Manch) expressed dissatisfaction with this investigation and filed a complaint in the court. In view of this, the court instead of accepting the chargesheet directed the CID for a thorough and further investigation of the case.
Meanwhile, India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) is already interrogating the main shooter Faisal Karim Masood and his accomplice Alamgir Sheikh in Delhi.
He gave us a lot of pressure to remove Hadi from Dhaka-8. Even as a government official why he took this risk, the question is also raised. However, behind this, analysts believe that the long-term accumulated anger of Hadi’s family and the frustration of repeatedly (12 times) delaying the charge sheet and further investigation report of the case are close.
The case is currently being investigated by the CID. Three people have been arrested in India and 11 in Bangladesh so far in this case. Nine of the 11 people arrested in Bangladesh admitted their guilt and gave a statement under section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code. On January 12, Rubel of Madaripur was arrested from Keraniganj and gave a statement on January 22. In his deposition, the names of Awami League leader Jahangir Kabir Nanak’s PS Biplab and Adabar Thana Chhatra League secretary Kamruzzaman Rubel came up.
Majedul, the supplier of the weapon used in the murder, said in his deposition that he sold the weapon to Khaled Mahmud Bhuiya, the organizing secretary of Dhaka South Jubo League. Currently, the incident has taken a new turn from two aspects – investigation and political statement. However, law and order forces say that it is not possible to make a definite comment about the ‘mastermind’ until the final report is received.
According to intelligence sources, it has been confirmed that Khalid Mahmud had the weapon used in Hadi’s murder and where is his weapon store?The intelligence agency said that who is supplying him with weapons and the loss is being seen.
