The Bangladesh Embassy in Kuwait has no information of any Bangladeshis living in a building housing workers in Mangaf city where at least 41 people were killed in a fire on Wednesday.
"We have no information so far that any Bangladeshi workers lived in that residential building," Mohammed Abul Hossain, labour councillor of the Bangladesh Embassy in Kuwait, told media.
Moreover, the workers who lived there did not have any job demand letter attested by the Bangladesh Embassy.
However, Abul said the Bangladesh embassy will look deeper into the matter.
At least 49 people were killed in Kuwait on Wednesday after a fire broke out in a building housing foreign workers, with Kuwait's deputy prime minister accusing property owners of committing violations that contribute towards such incidents.
The nationalities of those who died were not immediately disclosed by local authorities.
