Amin was accompanying his sister Rahana Akhtar (38) and her husband Msharaf Hossain (44). The three had come to India for Hossain’s kidney transplant surgery. Hossain’s sister, Zohra, and her daughter had also accompanied him, as Zohra was the donor for the surgery.“The five of them landed on the night of June 2, stayed at the airport overnight, and reached the hotel only on the morning of June 3, when the fire took place. They were in the restaurant when the fire started,” said Robiul. He stated that Amin died due to the fire, while Hossain, Zohra, and her daughter were all in critical condition at Max Hospital. Rahana was at AIIMS, being treated for injuries she sustained in the fire. Among their immediate family, Robiul and his parents were the only ones who had visas, and thus came to India in place of closer relatives.Dr Sudhir Gupta, head of AIIMS’ forensic department, told HT that autopsies of 18 bodies had been completed, and that 16 of those had been handed over. “The remaining two bodies will be taken by Friday night,” Gupta said.Representatives from the embassies of Mozambique, Congo, and Nigeria were also present at the hospital. A hospital staff member said that two of the deceased currently at AIIMS were from Congo, two from Mozambique, one from Iraq, and one from Bangladesh (Amin).HT had earlier reported that Nigerian nationals David (30) and his mother Esther (53) — both among the deceased — had come to India for Esther’s brain tumour treatment, which had been completed before June 3. The two were still in India on the day of the fire as they needed to undergo further tests. An official from the Nigerian embassy stated on Friday that David was going to get married soon, and that neither he nor Esther had any immediate relatives, making the process of handing over their bodies difficult.New Delhi: Two days after at least 21 people died in a blaze at a bed and breakfast in Hauz Rani, the process of handing over their bodies to their relatives continued at multiple hospitals in the city on Friday.At AIIMS hospital, 33-year-old Mohammed Robiul from Bangladesh was present at the mortuary to identify his brother-in-law, Nurul Amin (44), who was accompanying his sister Rahana Akhtar (38), and her husband Msharaf Hossain (44).
