Three people have sustained burn injuries when a gas cylinder exploded in a local eatery in Dhaka's Hazaribagh area.
The incident occurred around 12:30pm on Friday.
The injured are- hotel owner Joynal Abedin, 65, his son Md Shahid, 40 and shopkeeper Md Shajib, 22.
Quoting the doctors, Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) police outpost Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Md Abdul Khan said all three are currently undergoing treatment at the Burn Unit of the hospital.
"Of them, Shahid is in a more critical condition with 41% burn while Joynal and Shajib sustained 10% and 8% injuries respectively."
Shahid's brother, Shahin said a pipe leakage in the gas cylinder might have led to this explosion. Local people rescued the injured from the store and brought them to the hospital.
