KARACHI (Dunya News) – An investigation committee headed by Senior Superintendant Police (SSP) South has been formed to probe Karachi hotel fire.
However; a case has not been yet registered against the incident. Police say that the case will be filed after determining the reasons and motives behind the fire.
At least 12 people were killed when a four-star hotel in Pakistan‘s southern port city of Karachi caught fire early Monday.
Reportedly, 75 people suffered injuries in the blaze, which started in Regent Plaza hotel’s kitchen.
The dead bodies of the victims have been sent to their local towns where the burial ceremonies are underway.
Grief-stricken families mourned the shocking death of their beloved ones from the huge inferno.
Numeorus bodies were handed over to the families including the assistant professor of Civil Hospital Nawabshah Dr Abdur Raheem Solangi, a soon-to-be-married nurse Rubi Saveeta who was the daughter of a tailor in Toba Tek Singh, a Gujranwala couple who were present in the hotel to attend a wedding and Umerkot’s District health officer Dr Mohan Talwani.
It is pertinent to mention here that the hotel had "no fire exits or fire alarms". Most of the people died due to suffocation as no exhausts were available.
Investigation is in progress and a report will be presented to Chief Minister (CM) Sindh in a span of seven days.
