Bangladesh police say student leader Sharif Osman Hadi was killed due to political revenge, with investigators claiming the conspiracy behind the murder was planned in Singapore.
The victim was identified as Muhammad Motaleb Shikder, a student leader of the National Citizen Party (NCP), the same party to which Osman Haidi belonged.
