style=\"font-weight: 400\">A simple keyword search led us to several Bangladeshi news reports that identified the slain to be a 39-year-old scrap dealer, Mohammed Sohag, alias Lal Chand. This indicates that the victim is not a Hindu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to a report by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.prothomalo.com\/bangladesh\/u8q4vpouc4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prothom Alo<\/a> from July 12, Sohag was brutally beaten up and bludgeoned with bricks and stones before he was killed.

The page debunked the communal narratives shared by the Indian media outlets and clearly mentioned that the deceased man was named Mohammed Sohag, also known as Lal Chand, and he was a Muslim businessman. <\/span>He was the son of Md Aiyub Ali and Aleya Begum. He was married to Lucky Begum and had a son named Sohan.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"269\" data-end=\"466\">On Friday, Sohag was laid to rest beside his mother\u2019s grave in his ancestral village of Bandargachhia, Ward 7, Dhalua Union, Barguna Sadar Upazila, following the funeral prayers (Salat al-Janazah).<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cagobpresswingfacts\/posts\/pfbid026ZseiixmQDYR9D2B1tfGBqPJb8bez6KxTB8jh24fuwQdNGAowN835zT56JCUfFtfl\" data-width=\"500\" data-show-text=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cagobpresswingfacts\/posts\/122159357354594588\"><p>Indian media outlets including NDTV, India Today, WION have falsely identified businessman Lal Chand, also known as&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cagobpresswingfacts\">CA Press Wing Facts<\/a> on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cagobpresswingfacts\/posts\/122159357354594588\">Sunday 13 July 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To sum up, the Indian media falsely reported that the man who was stoned to death on the streets of Dhaka was\u00a0 a Hindu trader.
