Mizanur Rahman, husband of Nadira, whose wife Nadira and child were killed in the train fire in Dhaka Tejgaon area, demanded the return of their bodies without a post-mortem.

 “I am not seeking justice from anyone. Who to seek justice from? I just want to ask those who killed my wife and child what their crime was. Now my only demand is to return the bodies of my wife and son without a post-mortem,” he said while lamenting at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital morgue.

“When the fire spread to the whole bogie, I managed to get off the train with Fahim but unfortunately Nadira and Yeasin failed to get off. They got trapped and could not be saved,” said Habib in a choked voice.

Habibur said when the train stopped at Tejgaon station some people got down and two people who were behind their seats also got down.

“Later, when the train started to move we noticed the fire which soon spread to the bogey,” he said.
