When asked if there was any negligence on the part of the building owner, Mahid Uddin said they would take legal action against all those responsible for the incident.
A massive fire broke out in the seven-storey building around 9:45 pm on Thursday night, killing 46 people and injuring 12. About 13 units of the fire service immediately rushed to the spot and brought the fire under control after hours of tireless efforts.
The building houses some prominent eateries, including Kachi Bhai and a clothing store. It is usually crowded in the evening when people visit the restaurant with their loved ones.
