A viral video showing the brutal murder of scrap trader Lal Chand, alias Sohag (39), in front of Mitford Hospital’s Gate No. 3 in Dhaka has sparked widespread outrage. The incident, which occurred last Wednesday evening, prompted a swift response from authorities, with Dhaka’s Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court granting a four-day remand for two additional suspects on Sunday. The two suspects, identified as Alamgir and Monir (alias Small Monir), were presented before the court by Kotwali police, who sought a 10-day remand. After hearing arguments from both sides, the court approved a four-day remand for each to facilitate further interrogation. Previously, on Saturday, the court had granted a five-day remand for another suspect, Md. Titon Gazi (32), in connection with this high-profile murder case. So far, seven individuals have been arrested in the case: Sajib Byapari, Rajib Byapari, Titon Gazi, Mahmudul Hasan Mohin, Tarek Rahman Robin, Alamgir, and Monir (alias Small Monir). The gruesome killing took place in broad daylight on a busy road in front of Sir Salimullah Medical College (Mitford Hospital). A group of assailants brutally attacked Lal Chand, beating him and striking him with pieces of bricks and stones, crushing his head and other body parts. At one point, the attackers stripped him naked and were seen jumping on his body. A murder case was filed the following day at Kotwali Police Station by Lal Chand’s sister, Manjuara Begum (42). The case names 19 individuals as accused, with an additional 15 to 20 unidentified persons also listed as suspects. The incident has drawn significant public attention, with authorities vowing to bring all perpetrators to justice. The investigation is ongoing, with police analyzing CCTV footage and conducting operations to apprehend remaining suspects.
