Bangladeshi shot dead in South Africa

A Bangladeshi youth was gunned down by “robbers” at East Ran Diepsloot of Johannesburg in South Africa on Sunday.

Shahadat Hossain, 24, was son of Estefaz Uddin from Chattogram’s Lohagara upazila.

Mohammad Rubel, elder brother of Shahadat, said a gang of armed robbers looted valuables from a shop at 6:00pm and shot Shahadat while leaving the shop.

Rubel and other Bangladeshis there took the victim to a hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.

Shahadat went to South Africa in January this year, said his family sources.
