The owner of a factory building that collapsed in Bangladesh killing hundreds of garment workers was arrested on Sunday trying to flee to India as hopes of finding more survivors from the country's worst industrial accident began to fade.

Mohammed Sohel Rana was arrested by the elite Rapid Action Battalion in the border town of Benapole, Dhaka District Police Chief Habibur Rahman said. Authorities put the latest death toll at 377. Four people were pulled out alive on Sunday, fire services deputy director Mizanur Rahman said.
