In response to the Osman Bin Hadi murder case, Inqilab Mancha has issued a 15-day ultimatum to bring back the accused currently detained in India and face trial in Bangladesh, along with announcing six specific demands. The statement, signed by the organization’s secretary Abdullah Al Jaber, was released on Sunday night (March 22).
The statement expressed deep frustration and anger over the Bangladesh government’s “mysterious silence” and inaction regarding the extradition and remand process of the accused. It noted that in West Bengal, India, after a 14-day remand, the accused were again sent into 14 days of police custody, but the government has taken no effective steps, leaving the situation unresolved.
Accordingly, Inqilab Mancha has presented the following six demands:
- Immediate action by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Work must begin urgently, and the accused must be returned to Bangladesh for trial within 15 days. This is not a request but a direct ultimatum on behalf of the people.
- Expose the masterminds: Any attempt to hide the actual masterminds or conspirators will not be accepted. A high-level, independent judicial investigation committee must be formed to ensure transparency in the trial.
- Investigate accomplices: Authorities must identify and make public anyone who helped the accused cross the border, including potential insiders within intelligence and law enforcement agencies or local influential groups, and take swift action.
- Legal support against UAPA delays: To prevent delays caused by India’s UAPA law, the Bangladesh government must form a special legal expert cell to monitor Indian court proceedings and report progress to the nation. The cell will also work to resolve any legal hurdles to ensure the accused return within 15 days.
- Open trial: The trial of Osman Hadi’s killers must not be held behind closed doors or secretly. Inqilab Mancha demands an open trial system, broadcast live by national media, so the public can witness the trial’s transparency.
- Visible progress within 15 days: If there is no clear progress or roadmap for repatriating the accused within 15 working days, Inqilab Mancha will launch nationwide protests and strict measures, including in Dhaka. The organization emphasizes that it will not compromise on justice for the slain.
This announcement highlights the organization’s insistence on swift action, legal transparency, and accountability in one of the most high-profile criminal cases affecting public sentiment.Inqilab Mancha Issues 15-Day Ultimatum, Announces Six Demands Over Osman Bin Hadi Murder Case
