NEW DELHI: DCP, Outer, Sameer Sharma said an FSL team visited the building and gathered evidence. Meanwhile, a Delhi court has sent the two owners of the unit - Harish Goel and Varun Goel - to police custody.
The huge toll in the fire is being partly attributed to the fact that the fire department was informed at least an hour after the fire broke out at the four-storey building. There was a delay of over 40 minutes which allowed the fire to spread from the first to the other floors of the building. The fire fighters, too, reached 18 minutes late owing to traffic congestion at Peeragarhi.
