The Rajkot Commissioner Brijesh Kumar Jha issued a strict order to restrict media from his office today after the state government presented a fact-finding report on the Rajkot fire tragedy at TRP Game Zone on May 25.

Secretariat sources revealed that many bigwigs are likely to be exposed in the report for negligence. 

Following the Gujarat High Court’s order, a three-member fact-finding committee was formed consisting of Manisha Chandra, P Swarup, and Rajkumar Beniwal, to investigate the fire incident that took at least 27 lives.

The committee was tasked with submitting a detailed report to Ashwini Kumar, principal secretary in the Urban Development Department.

A SIT report will also be presented in the high court soon.
