Sharif Osman Hadi was shot by masked attackers while leaving a mosque in Dhaka last week and died of his injuries on Thursday while being treated in Singapore. BBC reported.
The shooting came a day after Bangladeshi authorities announced a date for the first elections since the uprising in 2024, which Hadi had been planning to contest as an independent candidate.
As news of his death emerged on Thursday, hundreds of his supporters gathered in a square in the capital city to protest.
