Lavkesh Bajaj, the owner of Flourish Stay B&B in Hauz Rani village, South Delhi, has been arrested by the Delhi Police in connection with a case involving undocumented Bangladeshi immigrants. This arrest follows a tragic incident where a fire at his facility resulted in 21 deaths. Bajaj was previously detained in January 2025 for allowing Bangladeshi nationals, specifically Sweety Sarkar and her daughter Pushpo Sarkar, to use his residential address to obtain Indian identity documents fraudulently. Investigations revealed that the two women, along with Pushpo's minor son, were living illegally in India using forged documents, including passports and Aadhaar cards. Bajaj reportedly accepted money in exchange for permitting them to use his address. Following his recent arrest, he has been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
