Neutral summary
A fire broke out on Monday, 26 October 2026, at Aman Plastic Factory in Narikel Bagh, Keraniganj, Dhaka, Fire Service officials said. The fire service received the report at 12:25pm and arrived at 12:32pm, deploying eight units. The fire was brought under control around 2pm. A man was killed; a fire service official said the body was found after the blaze was controlled, and bdnews24.com reported the victim as a young man identified only as Shakil, about 18 to 20 years old. The fire service said the victim's identity could not be confirmed immediately. Two others were burnt and taken to hospital; bdnews24.com reported that one, 45-year-old Md Manik, is in critical condition in the ICU of the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery. Fire Service official Kazi Nazmuzzaman said the factory lacked the required fire safety measures and documentation, and an investigation will be conducted. Officials said the fire may have started where paint used for colouring toys was stored, which bdnews24.com reported as an initial belief.
Where accounts differ. The Daily Star and the Jugantor report do not give the victim's identity or mention injured people, while bdnews24.com alone reports the victim as Shakil and two burn victims, and says the factory makes toys rather than plastic products, so the outlets diverge on the factory's product and the casualties.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
