On 9 December 2012, Biswajit Das, a tailor from Dhaka, Bangladesh, was murdered by members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of the Awami League. That morning, the opposition 18 Party Alliance had called for a nationwide road blockade. As Das was on his way to his shop, located in Shankhari Bazaar in Old Dhaka, one or more small explosives detonated near an anti-blockade procession organized by BCL activists from Jagannath University.
