Meghalaya Police, BSF Reject Reports Of Hadi Murder Suspects Crossing Border
Meghalaya Police, BSF Reject Reports Of Osman Hadi Murder Suspects Crossing Border
The clarification came after the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Media Centre Additional Commissioner SN Nazrul Islam claimed that the two suspects, Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Sheikh, accused in the murder of Osman Hadi, had crossed into India through the Haluaghat border in Mymensingh.
Meghalaya Police dismissed claims made by Bangladesh Police that two suspects in the Osman Hadi murder - Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Sheikh, had crossed into India from the Haluaghat border in Mymensingh district and were currently in the state, a Hindustan Times report said.
“No formal or informal communication has been received from Bangladesh police. None of the accused named in the report have been traced in Garo Hills, and no arrests have been made,” HT quoted a senior Meghalaya police official as saying.
Echoing this view, BSF (Meghalaya Frontier) Inspector General OP Upadhayay firmly denied that any border crossing had occurred in the Haluaghat sector.

“There is no evidence whatsoever of these individuals crossing the international border from the Haluaghat sector into Meghalaya. No such incident has been detected or reported by the BSF. These claims are baseless and misleading,” HT quoted Upadhayay as saying.
These remarks came after the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Media Centre Additional Commissioner SN Nazrul Islam, while addressing a press briefing, said that the two suspects, Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Sheikh, accused in the murder of Osman Hadi, had crossed into India through the Haluaghat border in Mymensingh.
“According to our information, the suspects entered India via the Haluaghat border. After crossing, they were initially received by an individual named Purti. Later, a taxi driver named Sami transported them to Tura city in Meghalaya,” The Daily Star quoted Nazrul Islam as saying.
Osman Hadi, 32, a prominent critic of India and the Awami League, was shot in Dhaka on December 12 while campaigning for the upcoming parliamentary elections. He was also nominated as a candidate for the February 12 parliamentary elections.
Hadi's killing triggered widespread unrest across Bangladesh, including attacks on media offices and cultural institutions. The unrest extended to central Bangladesh as well, where a Hindu factory worker was beaten to death by a mob in Mymensingh, intensifying tensions following Hadi's killing.
