The three-year-old girl, who sustained 90 per cent burn injuries in an explosion apparently from gas leak at a building in the capital鈥檚 Jatrabari area, died at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital on early Saturday, raising the death toll to three.
Rafia breathed her last at about 3:30am, said Shawon Bin Rahman, Resident Surgeon at National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery.
Earlier on Thursday, three members of a family sustained serious burn injuries in the explosion at about 1:40am following a blast on the ground floor flat of a six-storey building on Shahid Faruk Road in the capital鈥檚 Jatrabari area.
Among them, Ripon, 40, who suffered 70 per cent burns and his wife Eti, 30, who suffered 45 per cent burn injuries, died at the hospital on Thursday.
The fire broke out reportedly after a mosquito coil was lit triggering an explosion believed to have resulted from accumulated gas inside the flat.
