Gold trader Goutam Kumar Das succumbed to bomb injury at 8:30am yesterday at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).

He was severely injured in a bomb attack by outlaws on Monday night at Noapara under Abhoynagar upazila of Jessore.

The injured gold trader was sent to DMCH from Khulna Medical College Hospital on Tuesday as his condition deteriorated.

His wife Maya Rani Das lodged FIR with Abhoynagar Police Station on Tuesday naming an extremist. But police could not arrest the accused.

According to FIR, the extremist demanded huge amount of toll from the slain gold trader. But the trader refused to pay it and therefore the outlaws killed him.

Police said a live bomb was recovered from the place of occurrence during investigation.
