Dhaka, Dec. 21 -- Sharif Osman Hadi, one of the faces of the 24th student uprising and a potential candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency, was laid to eternal rest beside the grave of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam near the Dhaka University Central Mosque on Saturday afternoon.

He died Thursday while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Singapore after battling for life for seven days.

On December 12 (Friday) Hadi was critically injured in a shooting by terrorists in the city's Box Culvert Road in Purana Paltan, just a day after the announcement of the schedule for the 13th National elections.

He was immediately rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for treatment and later to Evercare Hospital.

Then he was taken to Singapore by air...
