The most-hated man in Bangladesh was paraded before reporters and a good number of the public today for his first court date in connection with the building collapse that killed hundreds.

The court gave police 15 days to question Mohammed Sohel Rana, who was arrested Sunday as he tried to flee to India.  He’s facing charges of negligence, illegal construction, and along with his father Abdul Khaleque, forcing people to work in a dangerous building.

Outside the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate's court, Rana wore a bullet-proof vest as he was ushered through an angry crowd calling for his death.

At least 3 thousand people were in Rana Plaza when it collapsed into a heap of mangled concrete and rebar.  Some 380 people are dead, and hundreds more are still missing.  Not a peep has been heard from any more survivors since the added tragedy of Sunday night; that's when rescuers using blowtorches to cut into the wreckage accidentally started a fire in the debris, a blaze that took several hours to put out.  Cranes have since been brought in to remove the largest chunks of ferroconcrete.

Most of the building was used as factory space for garment companies that supply western retailers.  The European chain store Primark now says it will compensate the families of victims, and is urging other retailers to join that plan.
