Owner of motorbike used in Hadi shooting on 3-day remand

A Dhaka court on Sunday placed Md Abdul Hannan, owner of the motorbike used by assailants in the shooting of Inqilab Moncho convenor Sharif Osman Hadi, on a three-day remand.

Metropolitan Magistrate Didarul Alam passed the order after police produced Hannan, before the court and requested to place him on a seven-day remand based on a general diary (GD) filed in connection with the incident.

Md Abdul Hannan was arrested in the city's Mohammadpur area on Saturday.

Sharif Osman Hadi, an independent parliament candidate for Dhaka-8 and spokesperson of Inqilab Moncho, was shot on Friday in the capital's Bijoynagar Box Culvert area. Two assailants who were riding the motorbike opened fire on Hadi, who was travelling on a battery-run rickshaw, and fled the scene.

Osman Hadi is currently undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka.
