"Uncanny Similarity" with Fire in Badruddoza Chowdhury's Residence

A Daily Star article published on December 14, 2008 points out the similarities between the fire that killed Nurul Islam and his son and the one that broke out in Badruddoza Chowdhury’s house on April 30, 2006:

“Why has the investigation not focused on the uncanny similarity between this (Nurul Islam) fire incident and that in B. Chowdhury's house in 2006? Both happened late at night, both were limited within a narrow area of the house, and both have been attributed initially by the respective investigations to electrical short circuit. For the B. Chowdhury incident, there was ample evidence to suggest that it was not a short circuit since the electrical appliances were functioning, window panes were broken and smell of toxic gas was reported, among other pieces of evidence.”
