DHAKA (Reuters) - Bangladesh police has detained the chairman and managing director of a garment factory after a fire killed seven workers, police said on Wednesday, following allegations that the plant employed under-age workers and had no license to run.
The fire at the Smart Exports Garment Ltd in the capital Dhaka on Saturday came just two months after the country's worst factory blaze turned the spotlight on the conditions in the garment sector. At least 112 people died in that fire in another part of the city.
