Fresh medical revelations have intensified concern over the condition of Osman Hadi, who remains in a life-and-death struggle after being shot in a suspected targeted attack. Following a CT scan conducted early Sunday morning, doctors have confirmed that the injury to his brain is catastrophic, leaving his prognosis deeply uncertain.
Currently receiving treatment at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka, Hadi has not regained consciousness and remains fully dependent on life-support systems. According to the medical team, the bullet caused extensive internal trauma, passing dangerously close to critical blood vessels inside the brain.
Dr Abdul Ahad, one of the lead neurosurgeons involved in the operation, described the shooting as “professionally executed”. Speaking to reporters, he revealed that the bullet entered the brain through the temporal region, causing massive neurological disruption.
“This was a calculated shot,” Dr Ahad explained. “The trajectory suggests expertise. It narrowly avoided vital arteries, which is likely the only reason the patient survived the initial impact.”
The CT scan also revealed significant oxygen deprivation to the brain, accompanied by blood clot formation. These factors severely reduce the likelihood of neurological recovery. Although surgeons managed to remove most of the bullet during emergency surgery, several tiny fragments remain embedded in the brain tissue.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Hadi’s kidneys temporarily stopped functioning, triggering fears of multi-organ failure. Fortunately, doctors confirmed that kidney activity has since resumed, offering a small but significant relief amid an otherwise bleak situation.
Despite this improvement, his respiratory system remains fully dependent on life support, with no signs of independent lung function. Doctors stress that the next 48 to 72 hours are critical.
Meanwhile, the family is considering the possibility of transferring Hadi abroad for specialised care. Medical documents have already been shared with overseas hospitals for expert opinions. However, doctors warn that moving him could worsen his condition.
“He is extremely unstable,” Dr Ahad noted. “Any transport must be carefully evaluated by a medical board.”
As news of his condition spreads, reactions have poured in from across the political and activist communities. Many have described the incident as not only an attack on an individual, but a chilling reminder of the risks faced by public figures.
For now, Osman Hadi remains under constant observation, surrounded by machines, medical staff, and the silent hopes of those waiting for signs of improvement.
