Hadi's Nalchity engulfed in grief, residents demand arrest of killers
Gloom descended on the village home of Inqilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman bin Hadi in the Khasmahal area of Nalchity municipality in Jhalakathi as news of his death spread.
Relatives and well-wishers rushed to the house upon hearing the news. However, due to security concerns, no family members spoke to visitors or the media on Thursday night (18 December). Police said the family would speak to others on Friday morning (19 December).
Hadi's neighbours and former classmates demanded the immediate arrest of those involved in his killing and called for the maximum punishment, including the death penalty.
Many people broke down in tears while recalling memories of Hadi. Locals also raised questions about why adequate security was not provided to a heroic July Uprising figure like Hadi following the movement.
