Indian police have arrested two suspects in West Bengal for the murder of Bangladeshi student leader Sharif Osman Hadi, who was killed in December 2023. Hadi's death, which triggered anti-India protests in Bangladesh, strained relations between the two countries. The suspects, Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir Hossain, are accused of fleeing Bangladesh after committing crimes, including extortion and murder. Their arrest follows assurances from India that it would cooperate with the investigation. Analysts suggest this development could ease tensions and serve as a test of cooperation between India and Bangladesh following Bangladesh's recent political transition. The suspects were reportedly attempting to cross back into Bangladesh when they were apprehended.
