Bashir Ahmed, 58, succumbed to his injuries around 7am Sunday at the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital’s (DMCH) burns unit.

Rampura Police Station’s Inspector Md Alamgir Hossain said an explosion happened while Bashir went to smoke in the toilet.

He was taken to the DMCH while in a critical condition, said Hossain.

“Most probably the toilet had accumulated gas which after coming into contact with the fire caused the explosion.”

No other casualties were reported in the explosion.
