A Bangladeshi expatriate named Sohan, aged 21, from Ranisankail in Thakurgaon, was shot dead by armed assailants in Katlehong, near Johannesburg, South Africa. The incident occurred on Thursday evening while he was working at a shop. According to family sources, the shop owner was present but had gone to fetch a candle after a power outage when several armed men entered and opened fire on Sohan, killing him on the spot. The attackers fled immediately after the shooting.
Preliminary reports suggest that the killing may have stemmed from a business dispute involving the shop’s Bangladeshi owner and a neighboring Somali trader. Local residents believe Sohan became an innocent victim of that ongoing conflict. Sohan was the only son of Dulal Mia from Chikon Mati village under Kashipur Union. His father had sent him abroad after taking loans to improve the family’s financial condition.
Ranisankail police confirmed the incident and said officers were gathering more information. The family has applied through official channels to repatriate his body to Bangladesh.
