As the march progressed, security personnel moved to prevent the crowd from advancing further.
Police blocked the protesters by erecting barricades and deployed crowd-control measures, including water cannons, tear gas and sound grenades, to stop them from reaching the advisory office.
The situation remained tense as police sought to contain the demonstration.
Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam on Friday said the interim government has decided to propose that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights carry out an investigation into the assassination of Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi.
Alam made the remarks when asked whether the interim government would seek an international investigation into the Hadi assassination case.
“The government has already decided to propose that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights undertake an investigation into the case at the earliest opportunity,” the press secretary said.
“The interim government remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring full justice in this case and will extend all possible cooperation to such an investigation,” Shafiqul Alam added.
