Bangladesh police said Tuesday they will press murder charges against the owner of a nine-story building that collapsed and killed 1,135 garment workers last April, the worst industrial disaster in the country's history.
Sohel Rana, owner of the Rana Plaza factory complex on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka, was one of around 40 people who would be charged in connection with the disaster, said lead investigator Bijoy Krishna Kar.
"We are planning to press murder charges against Sohel Rana and others accused," Kar of the police's Criminal Investigation Department told AFP, adding that if convicted Rana could be sentenced to death.
