Cops nab another Savar factory owner


1 / 2
Detective Branch of Police arrested Aminul Islam, owner of Phantom Apparels, one of the readymade garments factories located in the now-collapsed Rana Plaza at Savar, on Saturday night from Dhaka.
  
Islam, also Chairman of Phantom Tac Bangladesh Ltd, was arrested from Ramna area around 10:30pm, DMP Deputy Commissioner (Media) Masudur Rahman told bdnews24.com.

Earlier, Mahmudur Rahman Tapash and Bazlul Samad Adnan, owners of New Weave Bottoms and New Weave Style, were taken into custody upon their surrender on Friday night, and Executive Engineer of the Savar municipality Md Imtemam Hossain and Assistant Engineer Md Alam Mia were arrested on Saturday morning.

A Dhaka court earlier in the day placed the two garments owners on six-day police remand each in two cases and the engineers to four days’ remand each in two other cases.

Police and RAJUK had filed the two cases at the Savar Police Station on Wednesday night charging ill-constructed building owner Sohel Rana and the owners of the five garment factories located in the Rana Plaza for the loss of lives and property.

Since the collapse on Wednesday morning, over 350 dead bodies have been recovered and 2,500 people rescued alive from the debris of the nine-storied building.

Many survivors have alleged that the owners of their factories forced them to go to work that morning much against their will since they had seen the cracks the building had developed on Tuesday.

Sohel Rana, a Senior Joint Convenor of Awami League’s youth front Juba League’s Savar municipality unit, has been on the run since the collapse of the massive structure.

The cases were filed on charges of structural faults and use of substandard and unspecified building materials in the construction of the building, and for the loss of lives and property.
