A man was killed on Wednesday evening after assailants threw a crude explosive from a flyover in the Mogbazar area of the Bangladeshi capital, police said.
The blast occurred beneath the flyover in front of the Moghbazar Freedom Fighters' Memorial, a spot frequented by many. Witnesses said the explosive device was thrown from above the flyover and exploded on the ground below, critically injuring the victim, identified by relatives as a man named 'Siam'. He died shortly afterwards.
