On Tuesday (Apr 2), Md Hasan and Md Shahid, who inherited the ‘Wahed Mansion’ building from their father, surrendered to a Dhaka metropolitan magistrate as their three-week bail from High Court expired.

The court ordered the siblings to be sent to jail before turning down their bail petitions.

The fast-moving fire, which raged through the night of Feb 20 unleashed havoc across five buildings at Chawkbazar’s Churihatta, killing 71 people.
