The details are part of a 400-page chargesheet filed in the case by Delhi Police before a Saket court Monday. Three accused, Sarita (27) and brothers Niranjan (33) and Rajkumar (27), have been charged under sections 61 (criminal conspiracy), 105 (culpable homicide), 110 (attempt to culpable homicide), 326(g) (mischief by fire) and 331(4) (lurking house-trespass by night) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Police have also invoked Section 95 of BNS, which deals with hiring, employing or engaging a child to commit an offence. More than 40 people have been named as witnesses in the case.
Police initially suspected that the fire was caused by a short circuit. Investigators also found footage of Sarita and the minor travelling on a scooter before and after the incident. Police have also submitted an investigation report to Juvenile Justice Board regarding the minor’s alleged role in the incident.
The investigation took a different turn after CCTV footage showed a minor entering the building before the blaze and leaving as the fire broke out.
