Finding lapses in the functioning and safety measures of Hotel Aprit Palace in Central Delhi’s Karol Bagh area, wherein a massive fire broke out on Tuesday, Delhi Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the management. The fire broke out early morning on Tuesday and 17 people, including a child lost their lives, while 35 people were injured in the incident.
“Police have registered a case under sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide) of the Indian Penal Code. Conviction under both the sections leads to seven years of imprisonment,” a senior police official said.
