It’s murder, not accident It’s murder, not accident... The fire that killed 51 employees of a food processing factory in Narayanganj was not a bolt from the blue for the owners who, according to police, knew such a disaster was imminent but chose to do nothing. Police yesterday arrested the owners of Hashem Foods Ltd, Md Abul Hashem, his four sons, and three others accused of burning 51 employees to death. "They knew that the building, full of combustible chemicals and substances, might catch fire anytime, but did nothing… We accused them of killing the workers," Deputy Inspector General of Police (Dhaka Range) Habibur Rahman told The Daily Star yesterday.
