Osman Hadi Killing: Was it Used to Fuel Anti-India Sentiment? CNN-News18 Decodes

  • Intelligence sources suggest Sharif Osman Hadi's assassination was exploited to mobilize anti-India protests, not due to ideological rivalry.
  • Hadi, a convener of Inquilab Mancha, was politically unpredictable, criticizing Awami League, BNP, and refusing Jamaat backing.
  • Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) claimed suspects fled to India via Meghalaya, seeking extradition, but Indian intelligence and BSF deny any evidence.
  • BSF Inspector General OP Upadhyay called DMP's reports false and misleading, questioning the timing of India-linked allegations.
  • Hadi's death sparked violent protests, attacks on media, political offices, and the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das, alongside anti-India rhetoric and attacks on Indian missions.

Why It Matters: Osman Hadi's killing was allegedly used to incite anti-India sentiment and protests, despite Indian authorities denying suspect entry.
