1 died in motijheel infront of dse.
A bomb has exploded in the city's busy Motijheel area, leaving one man dead and another wounded.

Meanwhile, at least four cars were torched in separate incidents in the capital on Sunday.

Police could not immediately confirm who were behind the explosion but it took place barely one hour after police dispersed a gathering of the main opposition BNP on Sunday.

Police used batons to disperse the gathering organised to honour freedom fighters in the city's Institution of Engineers.

The BNP supporters and freedom fighters from across the country gathered at the auditorium of the IEB around 8am on Sunday to attend the progrmme.

Police swooped on them and arrested some BNP supporters while they allegedly created chaos there, police said.

Officer in-charge of Shahbagh police station Rezaul Karim told  that police had to act as BNP supporters were trying to block the busy road in front of the IEB.

He said that they detained a few BNP supporters but refused to say how many.

Within an hour of the melee, unidentified people torched two cars including a police van at Shantinagar while a third one near Shilpa Bhaban in Motijheel.

Another car was torched in Farmgate.

Police could not immediately identify the responsible.
