Police Inspector General Benazir Ahmed said Monday that they did not suspect the Moghbazar explosion was primarily a subversive act.
The chief executive of Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company, Ali Iqbal Md Nurullah, said Monday that they do not have a gas supply line in the affected area of Moghbazar.
He said there was primarily a suspicion that an explosion of a liquefied gas cylinder could have caused the accident.
The fire brigade has now formed a five-person investigation committee, which was led by the director (operations and maintenance) Lieutenant Colonel Zillur Rahman.
At least seven people were killed and several hundred injured in a massive explosion in a three-story building in Moghbazar in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka on Sunday evening.
« So far Seven people died and 50 others were taken to various hospitals in the city with injuries caused by the explosion « said Md Shafiqul Islam, Commissioner of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, after a late evening visit.
