Security agencies in Meghalaya on Sunday (December 28, 2025) rejected the claim made by Dhaka Police of Bangladesh. Dhaka Police had said that the killers of Inquilab Manch leader Sharif Usman Hadi have entered the state. BSF chief in Meghalaya, Inspector General OP Upadhyay has called them baseless and misleading.
In fact, a top official of Dhaka Metropolitan Police had said that the two main suspects of Hadi murder case have entered Meghalaya through Haluaghat border. Local friends have helped him. There is no such evidence. So that it is known whether any person has crossed the international border from Haluaghat sector and come to Meghalaya.
Speaking to PTI, Upadhyay said that BSF has neither seen any such incident. Nor has any such report been received. The claims that are being spread are baseless and misleading.
A senior Meghalaya Police official said there was no input or intelligence to corroborate the claim of presence of suspects in the Garo Hills area. BSF officials have said that the personnel deployed on the International Border have been kept on high alert at all times to prevent any untoward incident. Especially considering the situation in the neighboring country. Constant monitoring is being done in this sector.
