Family members said Abu Nasr was shot dead by armed assailants in front of his business premises in Soweto. Relatives say that this is not an ordinary robbery but a premeditated murder. He alleges that he was murdered by hired killers.
Members of the local Bangladeshi expatriate community said that despite strengthening their security, Abu Naser was shot outside his own business.
The attackers reportedly fired six to seven rounds at him, ensuring his death. His family suspects that the murder was due to a long-running business dispute with another Bangladeshi expatriate.
Abu Naser was from Badamatali area in ward number 8 of Char Kakra union in Companyganj upazila of Noakhali. He owned a shopping mall in South Africa.
