The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the TRP Game Zone fire, which killed 27 people on May 25, recorded statements of five more officials of Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) Friday and took into custody documents related to the gaming zone.
Speaking to The Indian Express, SIT chief Subhash Trivedi said, “We have so far questioned nine officials. We have also recovered documents related to the TRP Game Zone from those who were questioned today. We are looking into their role and other aspects of the incident. A few more will also be questioned and several documents are yet to be recovered.”
“Further, we are taking inputs from our team member, Commissioner (Technical Education) B N Pani, who had served as the Surat municipal commissioner during the Takshashila Arcade fire (in May 2019) to understand what steps the civic body took after the tragedy,” he added.
The RMC officials questioned on Friday included assistant town planner Mukesh Makwana, assistant engineer Rudrawadi Aasi as well as firemen Jayesh Dabhi and Gautam Faflana, said sources in the SIT.
