New Delhi: The probe into the Bawana fire incident that claimed 17 lives was handed over to the Crime Branch from the district police today.
The case was transferred to the Crime Branch by Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik since it "requires extensive investigation and a proper detailed follow-up", a Delhi Police statement said.
Ten women and seven men were killed while a man and woman were injured in the massive blaze at a "cold firecrackers" unit in outer Delhi's Bawana industrial area yesterday.
The 49-year-old Manoj Jain, who was running the factory, has been arrested.
"He was produced before the duty magistrate today who sent him to judicial custody. The police will request for production and police custody tomorrow before the regular magistrate," the police statement said.
A Forensic Science Laboratory team visited the site again today and conducted an extensive survey of the premises for about four hours with the assistance of the police, it added.
