Sharif Usman Hadi was one of the student leaders who were leading this movement against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina last year that toppled our government.

There were weeks of protests in which hundreds of people were killed that attracted the global attention.

And since then, an interim government has been in charge.

And they recently announced elections in February.

That will be the first elections after the house of Ms.

Haseena, who many critics say ruled with an iron hand, an autocratic style of government in Bangladesh.

Now, there were several student leaders in different political parties.

They have their own parties and movement and groups.

And Hadi was one of them.

He was planning to contest in the elections and he was shot in Dhaka last week.

He was seriously injured.

And then a few days ago, he was taken to Singapore for treatment.

And now his death has also triggered violence and people were shocked.

They were worried about already political tensions running high in a volatile country.

On Thursday evening, as the news of Sharif Osman Hadi emerged, hundreds of protesters gathered at a square in the capital, Dhaka.

They were holding protests.

And then a group of demonstrators also went to the buildings of two of the prominent dailies in Bangladesh, the Prathamalu and the Daily Star.

And these buildings were vandalized.

And a part of one of the buildings was set on fire.

So the firefighters had to come and rescue the journalists who were trapped inside.
