The High Court on Sunday rejected the bail plea of Saheda Parveen, wife of Faisal Karim Masud, the prime accused in the murder case of Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, the convener of Inqilab Mancha.

A bench comprising Justice Md Khairul Alam and Justice AKM Rabiul Hasan passed the order, Assistant Attorney General Hosne Mobarak said.

Saheda was arrested in Narayanganj on 14 December last year and later placed on remand. She gave a confessional statement on 24 December.

According to the case statement, Osman Hadi was shot on 12 December, 2025 while travelling in a battery-run autorickshaw in the Box Culvert Road area of Paltan.

The case alleges that Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Hossain opened fire on him before fleeing the scene.

Hadi was taken to Singapore for advanced treatment, where he died on 18 December.

Inqilab Mancha Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber had filed the case at Paltan Model Police Station on 14 December as an attempted murder case. Following Hadi's death, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Siddiq Azad on 20 December ordered the inclusion of Section 302 (murder) of the Penal Code.

Police later submitted a charge sheet against 17 accused. The court subsequently ordered the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to conduct a further investigation after a naraji (no confidence) petition.

The Rapid Action Battalion also arrested Faisal's brother-in-law Wahid Ahmed and friend Maria Akter on 14 December.
