An Let L-410 on a scheduled flight from Ishwardi to Dhaka lost its right engine on approach to Dhaka-Tejgaon. The crew restarted and then shut down the engine again, and the propeller could not be feathered. The drag forced an emergency landing in an open field where the undercarriage collapsed, and all seven occupants walked away.
