Dhaka, Feb 22 (UNB) – The relative of a Chawkbazar fire victim accused two owners of ‘Haji Wahed Mansion’ in a case on Thursday night, a day after a devastating fire claimed dozens of lives.

The accused – Sohel and Hasan – are brothers, said Sub-Inspector Delwar Hossain, duty officer of Chawkbazar Police station. He said Inspector Muradul Islam is investigating the case.

Sixty-seven people were killed and around 41 others injured in a fire that broke out at a chemical warehouse and raged through four other adjacent buildings in Chawkbazar on Wednesday night.
