After the tragic Rajkot fire of TRP Game Zone that killed 28, the special investigation team (SIT) has begun their probe.

The SIT interrogated a total of six personnel belonging to police, fire, and municipal corporation at Gandhinagar Police Bhavan.

Three personnel from the police and three from the fire department were summoned by the SIT.

As per sources, the officials were responsible for the inspection of the game zone and they accepted their lapse.

Legal actions will be taken against those who were responsible.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP crime) Parthrajsinh Gohil of SIT said, “We are probing four accused linked with the Rajkot game zone fire tragedy”.

These four accused have been in police remand for 13 days:

1. Former Assistant Town Planner Mukesh Makwana

2. Former Assistant Town Planner Gautam Joshi (allegedly did not destroy illegal construction)

3. Manoj Sagathiya (allegedly neglected illegal construction)

4. Fire Officer Rohit Vigora (who allegedly neglected fire safety norms at the illegal construction)

According to reports, Sagathiya has crores of property in Rajkot. He is said to have land on Jamnagar Road, a bungalow at prime location 150 ft Ring Road, 96 sq m land near Rajkot Akashwani Chowk, and a five-storey building.

Reports also suggest that he owns ₹4 crore worth of land in Gondal.

The Congress leaders accused the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of not probing municipal officials. However, the ACB has rejected the claims.

The ACB has been investigating Sagathiya and his properties and will complain under the Anti-Corruption Act after obtaining valid proof.
