At least three people died Friday after the boat capsized in a river in southern Bangladesh, police said.
Rescuers retrieved the bodies after the boat sank in the Taltoli estuary leading to the Bay of Bengal, about 200 kilometres south of capital Dhaka, dpa quoted police officer Babul Akhter as saying.
He added that five people were missing, and the survivors managed to swim ashore with the help of local fishermen.
