CBRN event in Bangladesh on Fri 6th February 2026

Dhaka : In a major escalation of civil unrest on Friday afternoon, thousands of Inquilab Morcha’s protestors attempted to storm Jamuna, the official residence of the Chief Adviser, Dr Muhammad Yunus. The incident occurred just six days before Bangladesh’s highly anticipated national elections, scheduled for February 12. The protestors were demanding justice in the Osman Hadi case, who was shot in the Paltan area of Dhaka on December 12, 2025. He was airlifted to the Singapore General Hospital on 15 December, where he died three days later. His death triggered a series of nationwide violent incidents, targeting media houses, political and cultural sites, and diplomatic missions. A video showed heavy police deployment on Friday in Dhaka city, with supporters of the Inquilab Morcha demanding justice for Hadi. Police were seen setting up barricades, using water cannons, tear gas, and sound grenades.
