A man died after falling from the fifth floor of a hotel in the city's Banani early yesterday while allegedly trying to escape a police raid.
The deceased was identified as Masud Alam Bhuiyan, 30, a clothes trader from Madhobdi of Narshingdi district.
Masud was climbing down a pipe around 12:00am when he slipped and fell, said Wahidur Rahman an employee of a restaurant adjacent to the Hotel Sea Queen, who rushed the injured to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Brother of the deceased, Alamgir Bhuiyan said Masud often visited the capital on business but always stayed over at his sister's house at Uttara.
He had no idea why Masud chose to stay at a hotel instead, he added.
Shah Alam, officer-in-charge of Gulshan Police Station said they raided the hotel around 11:45pm in a bid to bust unsocial activities and arrested 21 people in this connection.
The victim might have slipped while trying to make a getaway after hearing about the raid, he added.
