Dhaka Metropolitan Police Uttara Zone Deputy Commissioner Nabid Kamal Shoibal said none of Ishrat'sfamily members accused anyone of her death.
Earlier on Wednesday evening, a fire broke out in ACC Director Yousuf's house at Section-6, Uttara. Ishrat sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the military hospital in the cantonment.
Later, the Uttara Fire Service received information that fire had broken out at a Section-6 house. A fire service team reached the spot.
But, the fire servicemen did not find any sign of fire inside the house, said Mithun Biswas, duty officer at Uttara Fire Service Control Room.
He also informed that the injured had already been taken to the hospital before the fire service team arrived at the spot.
However, Ishrat's body will be buried in the Banani graveyard this evening.
