Authorities, including the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, suspect foul play and term the train fire a "planned attack," indicating the possibility of deliberate sabotage by unidentified individuals.

The quick response of firefighting teams tried to extinguish the incident that burned at least five compartments of the Benapole Express, despite fears that some people were still trapped within.

The CID and forensic experts began their investigation at the Kamlapur Railway station, collecting evidence from the burned train to discover the cause and suspected perpetrators of this tragic occurrence.

The inability to identify the deceased victims instantly adds to the tragedy, necessitating the collection of DNA samples from their families for identification.

This is not the first time a train fire has caused a tragedy in Bangladesh. A similar incident occurred the previous month, in which the opposition BNP was charged, an allegation that the party vigorously rejected.

The train fire occurred during the BNP's boycott of what they deem a "sham" election, for which they have called for a 48-hour statewide strike. This complicates the political picture even more, heightening fears about the country's stability.

The government's reaction to these episodes, as well as the accompanying political turbulence, will almost certainly affect public opinion and have ramifications for the electoral process and the administration's credibility.

Following these horrific tragedies, citizens are calling for justice, demanding authorities to catch those guilty and prevent such heinous atrocities from happening again.
