The owners and managers of a garment factory were charged Sunday in connection with a fire that killed 112 people in Bangladesh last year, officials said. Investigators submitted the charges of culpable homicide to a magistrate court against the owners and 11 managers of the Tazreen Fashin factory. The court set December 31 as the date to hear the charges so it could decide whether to accept them for trial. The charges were filed after more than a year of investigation, during which the owners were accused of negligence in the fire, which gutted the factory in the Ashulia industrial district near Dhaka on November 24, 2012, dpa quoted police officer Mohsinuzzamna Khan as saying. More than 200 people were injured in the blaze.
