Dhaka: Hundreds of Chinese and Bangladeshi labourers clashed at the site of a power plant being built south of Dhaka, police said, leaving a Chinese worker dead and more than a dozen others injured.

Police said the violence was triggered by the death of a Bangladeshi worker at the site of a China-funded 1,320-megawatt plant, prompting locals to accuse the Chinese of trying to cover up the incident.

“One of the Chinese workers later died in the hospital. He had injuries to his head,” local police chief Monirul Islam said. The presence of large numbers of Chinese workers in Bangladesh, as in other countries where Beijing is investing heavily, has caused some tensions with locals, and officials said similar clashes occurred a year ago.Regional administrator Ram Chandra Das said that authorities have ordered a probe into the incident.In April 2016, four people were killed after police opened fire on villagers protesting against the construction of two China-backed power plants in southeastern Bangladesh.
