The protestors organised the march to demand justice in the Osman Hadi case. A prominent leader in the protests staged against Sheikh Hasina, Hadi was shot in the Paltan area of Dhaka on 12 December last year. For his medical treatment, he was airlifted to the Singapore General Hospital on 15 December, where he died three days later. Hadi’s death had escalated violent unrest across the nation. Several media houses, political and cultural sites, and diplomatic missions were targeted.
