A case has been filed against a pest control company after two siblings died allegedly from pesticide poisoning after the company cleaned their house in Dhaka.
The father of the two boys, Mobarak Hossain, filed the case with Dhaka's Vatara police station.
Police on Monday said they have already identified the accused named in the case, and are trying to arrest them.
Vatara police station Officer-in-Charge ABM Asaduzzaman said the autopsy of the two siblings have been completed and the bodies were handed over to the family.
According to police and family sources, some employees of a pest control company went to the family's house in Dhaka's Bashundhara residential area on Friday.
The family entered the house some 15 hours after the service was completed.
However, all of the family members allegedly fell sick from the effects of the spray the company used.
Shahir Mobarrat Zayan, 9, died at the house the same day, and Shayan Mobarrat Zahin, 15, died while undergoing treatment at the ICU of Dhaka's Evercare Hospital, said General Manager of Ever Care Hospital Arif Mahmud.
The parents of the siblings were also hospitalized, but fortunately, their condition did not deteriorate any further.
The maternal aunt of the two siblings, Dr Rawnak Jahan Rosy, said the incident took place due to the incompetent employees of the pest control company.
“We contacted the authority of pest control service but did not get any proper reply from them,” she added.
