Poppy Rani Roy and her daughter Adrija and Turjo were burnt to death in the Bailey Road infernoOn the eve of the weekend, Poppy Rani Roy (30) decided to treat her children to a visit at the Ekushey Book Fair. On their way back, they stopped for a meal at a popular biriyani restaurant 'Kacchi Bhai' on Bailey Road, reports bdnews24.com. What was meant to be a pleasant family outing turned into a nightmare when a fierce fire ripped through the seven-storey Green Cozy Cottage building. As the flames roared, Poppy instinctively wrapped her arms around 12-year-old daughter Adrija and son six-year-old Turjo amid the suffocating smoke. Bailey Road, once the centre of drama and theatre in Dhaka has now turned into a 'gastronomic hub' and bustles with people most of the time.
