South Delhi hotel fire: He came from Dhaka for brother-in-law’s kidney transplant, died in blaze
Back in Dhaka, Amin leaves behind his wife and three children. None of them could travel to India because only Robiul had a valid visa.
According to sources in the police, three hotel employees were present at the time of the blaze — chef Keshav Negi, manager Rakesh, and a helper who was sleeping on an upper floor.

But on June 2, the transport businessman chose to board a flight from Dhaka to Delhi to accompany his younger sister Rahana Akhtar (38) and her husband Mosharaf Hossain (44), who was in need of a kidney transplant.
Also tagging along was Hossain’s sister Zohra, the donor, and her daughter.
“They landed in Delhi on June 2 evening and stayed the night at the Delhi airport. The next day, they went to a cafe,” Md Robiul (33), Amin’s brother-in-law, told The Indian Express. The cafe was located on the first floor of Flourish Stays B&B in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar, near Max Hospital Saket, where Hossain was set to undergo the transplant. As Amin and the family ate, just before they planned to visit the hospital, a fire broke out in the building.
