A rough bomb blare in Bangladesh's capital of bangladesh killed a adult male on wed amid tensions in the country following the death of a prominent student leader last week and violence that erupted in connection with the same.
The man was killed after miscreants hurled a crude bomb from a flyover in Dhaka's Moghbazar Wireless Gate at around 7 pm on Wednesday, reported Bangladeshi media outlet The Daily Star.
The deceased was identified as Saiful.
The bomb blast comes ahead of the return of Tarique Rahman, the Acting Chairman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and heir to the influential Zia family. He is set to land in the country on Thursday, ending his nearly 17 years in exile in London, his party said on Wednesday.
Rahman, the 60-year-old son of ailing former premier Khaleda Zia, has emerged as a leading contender for prime minister in the upcoming February general elections.
The Muhammad Yunus-led interim government ordered elaborate security arrangements coinciding with Rahman’s return, while the BNP planned to gather millions of supporters to welcome him with a display of strength.
His return comes at a time when Bangladesh is reeling under unrest over Inqilab Moncho leader Sharif Osman Hadi's killing. The party on Tuesday held a protest rally in Dhaka over Osman Hadi death at Shahbagh in Dhaka.
Osman Hadi, a prominent student leader who was one of the leading figures of the 2024 uprising, was shot by masked gunmen on December 12 in Dhaka while exiting a mosque. He died days later during treatment in Singapore.
