A van driver who
was injured in a blast in the capital's Moghbazar area on Sunday died on
Thursday morning, bringing the total death toll to ten.
Nurnabi, 30,
from Rajbari, died at Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic
Surgery (SHNIBPS) about 4:30 a.m. while undergoing treatment. He had 90 percent
burns.
The institute's
coordinator, Dr. Samanta Lal Sen, confirmed the report.
Earlier, seven
people were killed in the blast on Sunday, while a man died the next morning at
a Panthapath hospital. Firefighters discovered the body of the building's guard
from the rubble on Tuesday.
However, police
filed a case with the Ramna police station on Tuesday in connection with a blast
in a Moghbazar building, naming seven entities and an individual as suspects
for their "negligence" that resulted in the blast.
