Locals in Sonargaon, Narayanganj blocked the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway on Wednesday morning to protest the killing of an autorickshaw driver. The protest began around 10 a.m. in the Darikandi area, causing a long traffic jam and significant public suffering due to slow vehicle movement. The demonstration lasted for about half an hour before the road was cleared.
According to reports, on May 17, an altercation over a queue at the Darikandi stand led to Shahin, 40, allegedly beating fellow driver Md. Momin, 45. Momin later died early Wednesday while receiving treatment at a hospital in Dhaka. In response, locals demanded justice and took to the highway in protest, blocking traffic from Jangal to Mograpara intersection.
Police officials from Kanchpur Highway and Sonargaon stations said the protesters left the highway following police advice, and traffic has since returned to normal.
