Nadim, who suffered severe wounds, was rushed to DMCH, and physicians pronounced him deceased at approximately 11:30 pm.
Inspector (Investigating) Sheikh Lutfor Rahman from Kamrangirchar Police Station stated that a local entrepreneur had earlier lodged a complaint with them regarding extortion involving multiple people in the region.
On Wednesday evening, a group of four to five individuals reportedly visited Sylhetia Bazaar with what seemed to be the intention of coercing the businessman into dropping the legal proceedings, and purportedly made threatening statements.
A dispute erupted, attracting the notice of nearby residents who apprehended three of the individuals and assaulted them.
Masud passed away immediately, whereas Nadim and Sohag were rushed to the hospital.
The rest were able to escape. The remains have been stored at the DMCH morgue awaiting examination.
The matter is currently being investigated, stated the OC.
