India Alleges Bangladesh Helped Osman Hadi Accused Flee; Questions Dhaka's Credibility

  • Indian agencies suspect Bangladesh facilitated the exit of Osman Hadi murder accused, Faisal Karim Masud, abroad.
  • Masud, a formally notified person, could not have left Bangladesh without official knowledge and clearance.
  • A video showing Masud in Dubai is questioned for forensic credibility, seen as a tactic to shift blame and control public anger.
  • Bangladesh refused to share crucial travel data, like flight manifests, despite established intelligence coordination mechanisms.
  • India views Dhaka's shifting narratives (from Meghalaya border to Dubai) as narrative control, damaging trust in regional security cooperation.

Why It Matters: India questions Bangladesh's credibility as a security partner after alleged aid to murder accused's escape.
