While the bodies are unrecognisable, the police suspect that they are the seven labourers who were reported missing on Wednesday. DNA tests will be held to identify the bodies, the police said.
The fire at the manufacturing site of Aether Industries in the Sachin GIDC industrial area broke out early Wednesday morning, injuring 27 labourers, who are under treatment at various hospitals in the city. Police sources said four labourers are critical.
“The dead bodies were recovered today morning from the fire site. We have a list of names of seven labourers who were untraceable. We suspect the bodies are theirs. We will take DNA samples of these bodies and match them with the samples from their families for their identification. We are contacting the family members,” Assistant Commissioner of Police R L Mawani said.
