A trader was killed and his cousin sustained burn injuries after a gas cylinder exploded at a motor parts shop in the Bangshal area of the capital early Friday.


The deceased was identified as Delwar Hossain, 35, a resident of Sharsha upazila in Jashore and owner of the shop in Shia Goli. The injured is Nazmul Hossain, 33, Delwar's cousin.

Hamidul Islam, an employee of the shop, said the explosion occurred around 4:30am after gas leaked inside the shop, leaving Delwar and Nazmul injured.

Besides, the blast caused a heavy object to fall on Delwar's head, he said.

On information, firefighters rushed in, rescued the victims and took them to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where doctors declared Delwar dead around 6:30am, reports UNB.

Inspector Md Faruk, in-charge of the DMCH police camp, said the body has been kept at the hospital morgue for an autopsy.
