Indian officials have denied Bangladeshi police allegations that suspects in the killing of Islamist leader Sharif Osman Hadi crossed into India's Meghalaya state. Dhaka police claimed two suspects, Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Sheikh, entered India via Haluaghat border and were aided by locals, some of whom are reportedly detained. However, Indian sources and Meghalaya Police dispute this information, stating it is inaccurate. Hadi died in Singapore on December 18 from injuries sustained in a December 12 shooting, an event that heightened tensions and violence against minority communities in Bangladesh.
