DHAKA, Bangladesh — The explosion was fast and furious. Suddenly, flames consumed the scene in surveillance-camera footage local media published Saturday of the deadly fire in Dhaka this past week. Police said the fire began in a five-story building housing highly flammable chemical products. “It’s regretful that still there are chemical godowns in Old Dhaka despite repeated drives against them,” Hasina said. Police have said that they are seeking up to a dozen suspects in connection with the fire and could charge them with negligence.
