1 killed in Shahjahanpur slum fire
A man was killed in a fire that broke out at a slum near Shajahanpur Railway colony in Dhaka early today.
The fire originated at a shanty of Kabilar slum from an electric short circuit around 4:30am, said Officer-in-Charge of Shahjahanpur Police Station Abdul Mabud.
Later, locals doused the fire and recovered the body of Shipon Miah, 30, from inside the makeshift house, the OC said.
Shipon was mentally unstable and therefore possibly could not get out of his house, the police official suspects.
His wife, Hasna Ara, filed an Unnatural Death case with Shahjahanpur Police Station over his death.
Shipon’s body has been taken to Dhaka Medical College morgue for autopsy.
