A student leader of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Thursday died of wounds suffered during an explosion while "making bombs" in a house in Dhaka's Lalbagh.
Mahbubur Rahman Bappi died around 6 a.m. Thursday, said Mozammel Haque, sub inspector of the police outpost at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.
Bappi was the general secretary of BNP student front Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal's New Market unit.
Police said the 25-year old student leader was making bombs at his brother-in-law's house Wednesday when the explosion took place.
The BNP-led alliance's indefinite countrywide blockade, that began Jan 5, has been marked by numerous cases of bomb attacks and arson on vehicles.
