He was returning home after work at the time of the incident. Wife Dina Akter and two daughters live in the village.

It should be noted that last Wednesday, the gas cylinder ran out in the house of Shafiqul Islam in Telirchala area of Kaliakair upazila. He bought a gas cylinder from a nearby shop and tried to connect it to the stove inside the house. At this time the cylinder key broke. The gas started spreading inside the house. Then he threw the cylinder out. Even after discarding, gas continues to escape from the cylinder. At that time, the fire of the wood stove in another room next door came in contact with the gas, and it burst into flames. The fire spread to nearby houses and people outside. 34 people including women, men and children were burnt.
