‘Please help me find my brother’

Rony Ahmed was desperately looking for his brother near the emergency section of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

He was rushing towards every ambulance arriving with people injured in the Gulistan blast.

His brother, Mominuddin Suman, owns a shop on the ground floor of the building that partially collapsed following the explosion.

Suman was at his shop during the explosion.

Rony was just across the street when the explosion happened. 

"Everything went dark … I couldn't even see properly for some time. I've been calling my brother's phone since then but no luck," Rony in tears told The Daily Star at the DMCH.

"My brother called me minutes before the explosion. Please help me find my brother, " Rony said.

A bomb disposal unit recovered the body of Suman around 10:00pm from the basement of the building. 

Employees of his shop identified the body.
