Siam Majumder, a young man known for his hard work at Zahid Car Decoration, an automobile accessories shop in Moghbazar, had stepped out for a brief break. According to eyewitnesses, he was standing at a roadside tea stall near the Bangladesh Muktijoddha Sangsad Central Command when a high-intensity crude bomb was hurled from the flyover above.
“He just came for a cup of tea,” recalled Faruk, the local tea-stall owner. “Suddenly, there was a deafening blast. Before I could even process the sound, Siam was on the ground. It was a scene of pure horror.”
The Father’s Silent Grief
The most gut-wrenching scene occurred when Siam’s father arrived to claim his son’s body. Neighbors described the elder Majumder as a man “broken beyond words.” On Thursday, he was seen accompanying the coffin back to their home, his face etched with the kind of pain no parent should ever endure.
The family, like many others in the area, is now left to grapple with the senselessness of the act. Siam was reportedly an innocent bystander, caught in the crossfire of escalating unrest that has gripped the capital in recent days.
Security Concerns and Public Outcry
The blast, which occurred around 7:10 PM on December 24, has sent shockwaves through the community. Ramna Division Deputy Police Commissioner Masud Alam confirmed that the explosive—a powerful “cocktail bomb”—was thrown from the flyover, leaving Siam with no chance of survival.
While police have cordoned off the area and deployed forensic teams, no arrests have been made yet. The incident has intensified fears regarding public safety in Dhaka’s crowded commercial zones.
