On the night of 29 February 2024, a fire broke out in a seven-storey shopping mall located in the New Bailey Road of Dhaka, Bangladesh, killing 46 people.

They stated that the fire spread rapidly due to the presence of gas cylinders in the kitchens of multiple restaurants in the building.

[3][12] Fire officials have stated that many of the deceased were due to injuries sustained in attempting to evacuate by jumping from the building, burns or suffocation.

However, Md Ramzanul Haque Nihad, Managing Director of Amin Mohammad Group, purchased the seventh floor and rented it to a Chinese restaurant named Hakka Dhaka.

[19] Police filed a case against Amin Mohammad Group, Anwarul Haque, owner of 'Chumuk' fast food (where the fire originated), Munshi Hamimul Alam Bipul, the manager of the building, and 'Kacchi Bhai' owner Sohel Siraj with causing deaths by attempted murder in addition to their negligence.

[20][21][22] Eight members of the Amin Mohammad Group along with four others associated with the restaurants in that building were detained after the incident as per the sources of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.

[13][26] Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina expressed shock and sorrow over the disaster and ordered officials to provide swift treatment for the injured.
