Local people and relatives of the victims said that the batteries of the battery-operated rickshaws are periodically charged in the garage. Empty hand sanitizer jars, containers, perfume bottles, and various chemical containers are kept in the junkyard. From Saturday morning, the workers were straightening these old containers, bottles, buckets and other items by pressing the scrub machine. While working, there was a loud explosion at around 12:30 in the afternoon and the fire caught fire. Eight people including Malik Mazharul were burnt. Later they were admitted to Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery. Police and fire service personnel believe that the explosion occurred during scrubbing due to the presence of chemicals in the old shed.
