Khaleda has been jailed for the past year at the old jail on Nazimuddin Road following her conviction in two graft cases. Wahed Mansion, the building in Churihatta that was most damaged in the blaze, on Wednesday night is situated just around 150 to 200 metres away from the old Central Jail at Nazimuddin Road, claimed Rizvi. “The illegal rulers have jailed her in a hazardous environment for an ill purpose. “The entire neighbourhood was marked with loud sounds, people screaming, explosions throughout the night of the fire. “It was hard for the fire brigade to reach the scene due to the traffic congestion on Feb 20 and the blaze in Churihatta spread further, causing more destruction.”
