A Bangladeshi national was among the 22 people from seven countries who perished in a hotel fire in New Delhi on Wednesday. The deceased has been identified as 44-year-old Md Nurul Amin.

The Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi confirmed the identity and stated on Thursday night that arrangements are being made for the earliest possible repatriation of his body. The fire, which broke out on June 3, has particularly impacted two Bangladeshi families who were residing at the hotel while undergoing medical treatment at the nearby Max Hospital.

The High Commission has maintained constant contact with the affected Bangladeshi nationals and their families, who are currently receiving care at various hospitals across New Delhi. Bangladesh High Commissioner to India, Riaz Hamidullah, visited the hospitalized nationals at Max Hospital and consulted with attending physicians regarding their conditions.

Mission officials are stationed at the hospital to provide round-the-clock liaison with patients and medical staff, ensuring any emergent needs are addressed. The Bangladesh High Commission is also collaborating with Indian authorities to guarantee that the victims receive necessary medical treatment and support.
