A man who suffered burn injuries along with seven others in a fire incident in the city's Uttarkhan area early Saturday succumbed to his wounds five days after the accident on Wednesday morning, taking the death toll to five.
Dablur, 33, lost his battle around 9 am, said Bacchu Mia, in-charge of Dhaka Medical College Hospital police camp.
The fire broke out at their ground-floor flat of a two-storey building around 4 am on Saturday following a leakage in the gas pipeline, leaving eight inmates injured.
Most of the victims were garment workers and one of them was a rickshaw puller, says a UNB report.
The injured were taken to the DMCH where Azizul and his wife Muslima alias Urmi, Purnima and Sufia died earlier.
