One more injured, who sustained burns in a fire in Dhaka’s Mirpur on Saturday, died early today.
The deceased — Ariyan, 14 — breathed his last around 3:00am while being treated at the ICU of Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery with 70 percent burns, said its resident surgeon SM Ayub Hossain.
Another injured Hazera Begum died at the hospital on Saturday night.
The duo were burnt after the fire originated at a tin-shed house in section-13 of Mirpur around 4:00am on December 17.
Md Shahabuddin, senior station officer of Mirpur Fire Station, had said they suspected that the fire originated from an electric short-circuit, which intensified after the air-condition exploded.
