A police official from the Tejgaon Division says a man who may have been involved in the fire has been found in CCTV footageWas the fire at the BIAM building in Dhaka’s Eskaton sabotage, or an accident? Police have yet to determine whether the fire at the Bangladesh Institute of Administration and Management, or BIAM, Foundation building in Dhaka's Eskaton, which sparked from an explosion in an office room, was an accident or an act of sabotage. After the incident, police and the Fire Service initially presented the incident as an accident caused by an "air conditioner explosion" but the BCS (Administration) Welfare Multipurpose Cooperative Society Limited claimed that it was an “act of sabotage”. The fire broke out in an office room of the BCS (Administration) Welfare Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd on the fifth floor of the 10-storey building. However, the BCS welfare cooperative society issued a statement claiming the incident as sabotage the following day.
