Tremors were felt in eastern states in neighbouring India that border Bangladesh.
City residents rushed out of their homes as buildings shook and some makeshift structures collapsed, Reuters witnesses said.
Three people were killed when the railing of a six-storey building collapsed during the earthquake, police said.
"We felt a strong jolt and buildings were shaking like trees," said Suman Rahman, a Dhaka resident. "Staircases were jammed as people rushed down. Everyone was terrified, children were crying."
The fire department reported injuries after bricks and loose cement fell from buildings that were under construction." Reuters
