On the night of September 4, an explosion took place at the Baitus Salat Mosque on the Paschim Talla of Narayanganj. It killed 26 people. Allegedly, the accident happened due to a pipe line leakage of Titas gas. Although they informed Titas about the gas pipe leak, they demanded a bribe. The line was not repaired because no bribe was paid.
