Desk Correspondent , Dhaka - In a significant legal development, a formal chargesheet filed by Bangladesh authorities has directly linked former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League leadership to the murder of Osman Hadi. The investigation alleges that the killing was carried out following specific orders from the party high command to suppress the massive student-led uprisings that eventually led to the collapse of the Hasina government. Hadi, who was an active participant in the anti-discrimination protests, was reportedly targeted and killed in a planned attack by members of the Chhatra League, the party’s student and youth wing.

The chargesheet provides a detailed account of how the "killing mission" was orchestrated, naming several top Awami League leaders alongside Hasina as the masterminds. According to the police, digital evidence and eyewitness testimonies suggest that the youth wing was mobilized as a paramilitary force to strike fear into the protesters. The report claims that Osman Hadi was singled out for his vocal role in the movement and was brutally assaulted before being shot, an act the investigation characterizes as a state-sponsored execution intended to derail the democratic surge.

This move marks one of the most direct legal challenges to the former Prime Minister since she fled to India. The interim government in Dhaka has emphasized its commitment to "justice for the martyrs" of the revolution, using this case as a cornerstone for broader accountability. While the Awami League, currently in disarray, has previously dismissed such accusations as "politically motivated," the specific details in the chargesheet have sparked renewed calls for the extradition of Hasina to face trial on home soil. As the legal proceedings move forward, the case of Osman Hadi has become a symbol of the heavy human cost of the political transition in Bangladesh.
