Frank Forget, the hotel’s general manager, also tried to issue a statement in English, but journalists objected to that. A Bangla statement was then read out by Reza Golam Mostafa, general manager of Al-Humyra Group that owns the hotel. Mahir Haroon, brother of Adnan Haroon, is one of the key persons in running the hotel at Block-K in Banani residential area. It was alleged that Safat booked the room saying he was a friend of owner Mahir. The cake has no personal connection to Mahir Haroon,” said Al-Humyra Group’s Mostafa.
