Seven more bodies of Rana Plaza victims have been identified by the National Forensic DNA Profiling Laboratory (NFDPL) of Dhaka Medical College.
NFDPL chief Prof Sharif Akhtaruzzaman told The Daily Star last night that they had submitted the DNA results to the government authority on Monday.
So far 207 out of the 322 unidentified bodies, from which DNA samples were collected, had been identified.
On April 24 last year, nine-storey Rana Plaza that housed five garment factories collapsed, trapping thousands.
According to government estimate, 1,134 people were killed and 2,515 injured people were rescued from the death trap.
The bodies which were beyond recognition were identified in three phases through DNA tests--initially 157, then 43, and now 7.
