Scrap trader Lal Chand (aka Sohag), 39, was brutally murdered in broad daylight in Old Dhaka by a rival group seeking control of his business. In front of over 100 onlookers, Sohag was hacked, beaten, and stoned to death, with no one intervening—including security personnel. CCTV footage captured the entire attack. The victim's family claims the murder was premeditated, following Sohag's refusal to pay extortion demands. A case has been filed naming 20 individuals, including Mahmudul Hasan Mohin and Sarwar Hossain Titu. Four suspects have been arrested so far, sparking national outrage and calls for justice to prevent further erosion of public safety.
