The ghastly murder took place on Wednesday (July 9) in front of Sir Salimullah Medical College, Mitford Hospital in Dhaka. Sohag, who ran a business called Sohana Metal, held a strong grip on the market. His rivals, Mahmudul Hasan Mohin and Sarwar Hossain Titu, allegedly demanded a 50 per cent stake in the business or regular payments in its place.
