One of the three injured workers, who came in contact with molten iron during an explosion at a steel mill in Dhaka's Jatrabari area last night, died at a city hospital early today.

Md Shaheen (20) succumbed to his injury around 3:30am while being treated at Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, said SM Aiyub Hossain, a resident surgeon of the institute.

He suffered 95 percent burn injuries, the doctor said.

A crane operator of Shahriar Steel Mills at Konapara area, Shaheen married six months ago and used to live in Demra's Staff Quarters area, his father-in-law Mahbubur Rahman said.  

Two other injured -- Akter Hossain (50) and Mainuddin (22) -- are undergoing treatment at the hospital.
