An autorickshaw driver named Sonu (32) was shot and killed during a clash between local residents and drug dealers at the Geneva camp in Mohammadpur, Dhaka. The incident occurred around 8:30 AM on Wednesday (September 4).

Sonu, a resident of Sector 5 in the Geneva camp, was passing by Kamal Biryani shop when gunfire erupted. His cousin, Sajeev, reported that the clash involved 40 to 50 individuals, including notorious drug dealers Bunia Sohel, Rana, Tuntun, and Babu. During the altercation, Bunia Sohel allegedly fired a shotgun, fatally wounding Sonu. He was rushed to the emergency department at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where doctors pronounced him dead.

Sajeev expressed shock over the sudden escalation, noting that fights involving sharp weapons and sticks are common in the camp, but the use of firearms was unexpected. He questioned how such weapons had made their way into the camp, highlighting the brazen nature of the attack.
