Additionally, another person, Abu Sufian, general secretary of the Karwan Bazar Van Owners Association, was also shot and later admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. It was reported that attackers arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire indiscriminately before fleeing, after which Musabbir was taken to a private hospital in Panthapath where he was declared dead.
