The Islamic State group (IS) said it was behind the killing of a homeopath in western Bangladesh on Friday.
Mir Sanwar Rahman was hacked to death by three attackers with machetes riding a motorbike in Kushia district.
His friend, university tutor Mohammad Saifuzzaman, was seriously injured in the same attack.
There has been a series of murders of religious minorities, secular activists and academics in Bangladesh in recent months.
