Two members of a family burnt in a fire sparked by a gas leak in Dhaka’s Jatrabari have died.
The mother and father have succumbed to their injuries while the two-year-old daughter, who is being treated for burns as well, is not out of danger.
Abdul Karim, 30, breathed his last early on Monday morning at the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery. His wife Khadiza Akter, 25, died soon after.
“Both of them departed this world around the same time. Their daughter Fatema is not in a good condition,” Karim’s cousin Kamal said, citing the doctors.
A grocer by profession, Karim lived with his family in a rented house in Matuail. On Apr 21, the family had woken to have sehri when the fire broke out. Neighbours took the three to the hospital.
