Sharif Osman Hadi, a vocal India critic, was shot by masked assailants in Dhaka earlier this month and later succumbed to his injuries at a hospital in Singapore.

The police in Bangladesh have again alleged the two key suspects in the murder of radical leader Sharif Osman Hadi fled to Meghalaya in the northeast.

Two suspects in the murder of Sharif Osman Hadi have fled to India, claims Bangladesh police amid ongoing investigation.

Meghalaya security agencies refused claims by Bangladesh Police that killers of Sharif Osman Hadi had entered the state.

Dhaka Police say two prime suspects in the murder of activist Osman Hadi fled to India via the Meghalaya border after the killing, and Bangladesh authorities are coordinating with India to secure their arrest and extradition.

The clarification came after the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Media Centre Additional Commissioner SN Nazrul Islam claimed that the two suspects, Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Sheikh, accused in the murder of Osman Hadi, had crossed into India through the Haluaghat border in Mymensingh.

Indian officials refute Bangladeshi claims of Hadi’s killers fleeing to Meghalaya, asserting the suspects have not crossed the border.
