He said the next 72 hours are extremely critical, and at this stage, doctors will not introduce any new medical intervention.
Statement After Visiting Evercare Hospital
Dr Sayedur Rahman shared the update with journalists on Friday night around 9:30 PM after visiting Hadi at Evercare Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment. He said,
“শরিফ ওসমান হাদির মাথায় গুলিবিদ্ধ হয়ে মস্তিষ্কের কাণ্ড বা ব্রেন স্টেম পর্যন্ত গুরুতর ক্ষতি হয়েছে। চিকিৎসাবিজ্ঞানের ভাষায় এটি ‘ম্যাসিভ ব্রেন ইনজুরি’। এ অবস্থায় আগামী ৭২ ঘণ্টা অত্যন্ত ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ।”

Patient on Life Support
Dr Sayedur Rahman said Hadi is currently in a critical condition and is being kept on artificial ventilation. Doctors are unable to give any hopeful assurance at this moment. Said,
“হাদি বর্তমানে অত্যন্ত সংকটাপন্ন অবস্থায় আছেন। তাকে কৃত্রিম শ্বাস-প্রশ্বাসে রাখা হয়েছে।”
Translation: “Hadi is currently in an extremely critical condition. He is being kept on artificial breathing support.”
Bullet Passed Through the Head
According to Dr Rahman, the bullet entered above Hadi’s left ear and exited through the right side of his head. During this path, the brain stem, which controls breathing, heartbeat, and other life-sustaining functions, was badly damaged.
At present, the patient is being kept only on life support.
Small Signs of Life, But Situation Still Complex
Dr Sayedur Rahman said that Hadi still shows signs of life. During surgery, doctors noticed some attempts at natural breathing, which provided a small source of hope.
However, he made it clear that the situation remains very complicated. Before surgery, Hadi went into shock once. Later, during ambulance transfer, he experienced heavy bleeding from the nose and throat, which has now been temporarily controlled.
Doctors Not Offering False Hope
Dr Sayedur Rahman stressed that there is no situation right now to give hopeful stories. Doctors will continue close observation and decide the next steps based on how the patient responds. He said,
“এই মুহূর্তে আশার গল্প শোনানোর মতো কোনো পরিস্থিতি নেই।”
Translation: “At this moment, there is no situation to share hopeful stories.”
