Dhaka Man Visiting Saket For Kidney Transplant Dies In Malviya Nagar Fire
A 44-year-old transport businessman from Dhaka died in a devastating fire at a building in Malviya Nagar, near Max Hospital Saket in South Delhi. Md Nurul Amin had traveled to the area to assist his family during his brother-in-law’s scheduled kidney transplant before the fatal blaze broke out, claiming a total of 22 lives.
Amin had arrived in Delhi on the evening of June 2 alongside his younger sister, 38-year-old Rahana Akhtar, and her husband, 44-year-old Mosharaf Hossain, who was the patient in need of the transplant. The group also included Hossain’s sister, Zohra, who was the designated kidney donor, and Zohra’s daughter.
After spending their first night at the Delhi airport, the family went to a cafe on June 3. The cafe was located on the first floor of the Flourish Stays B&B in Malviya Nagar, situated close to the hospital where Hossain was scheduled to undergo his transplant.
While the family was eating at the establishment before their planned hospital visit, a fire erupted in the building. While Hossain, Rahana, Zohra, and her daughter sustained injuries but survived, Amin was unable to escape the first-floor cafe in time and perished in the blaze.
Following the tragedy, Amin's brother-in-law, 33-year-old Md Robiul, traveled to Delhi with his parents to handle the post-mortem formalities at the AIIMS mortuary. Robiul stated that Amin did not need to make the trip to India but chose to do so solely to help his sister care for Hossain during his medical treatment.
Back in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Amin leaves behind his wife and three children. None of them could travel to India following the accident because they did not hold valid visas. Robiul was contacted by the embassy to make the journey because he had previously traveled to India and held a valid visa.
While waiting outside the mortuary, Robiul scrolled through his phone to show a photograph of Amin, describing him as fair, clean-shaved, with sharp cheekbones and thick black hair swept on the side.
