Taltoli police OC Kamalesh Haldar said the 29-year-old had come to the park with his friend's family and cousin.
"Around 1pm, he and his cousin Al-Amin crossed the boundary set for visitors and poked the crocodile with a stick to get a closer look of it."
"The crocodile bit him and dragged him inside water," said the OC.
Rony was a student at a Malaysian university. He came to Bangladesh during vacation.
