The incident occurred on the evening of 9 July around 6 PM, when Sohag was beaten to death with bricks and stones in the premises of Mitford Hospital.
Shocking footage of the attack — showing continued brutality on his body even after death — went viral on social media, sparking public outrage.
Sohag, the victim, son of Yusuf Ali Hawlader, was a resident of Purbo Namabari village in Keraniganj. He had been running a scrap business in Rani Ghosh Lane of Old Dhaka for many years.
Two separate cases — one for murder and another under the Arms Act — have been filed with the Kotwali Police Station.
