Gujarat minister of state for home affairs, Harsh Sanghavi, today visited the Gandhinagar forensic science laboratory (FSL) to oversee the ongoing DNA testing.

One of the victims’ family members said that the families are still waiting for the DNA tests.

A fierce blaze erupted at the TRP Game Zone on Nana Mava Road in Rajkot on May 25. The fire, which occurred in a two-storeyed building, was operating without the necessary fire NOC which resulted in 28 deaths.

The state government has ordered a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the incident. The SIT, led by senior IPS officer Subhash Trivedi, will comprise five officers.

To support the victims’ families, the state government has announced financial aid of ₹4 lakh to the families of the deceased and ₹50,000 for the injured.
