On 9 December 2012, Biswajit Das, a tailor from Dhaka, Bangladesh was murdered by members of Bangladesh Chhatra League, 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.
