Lovkesh Bajaj, the owner of a hotel in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi, has been arrested by Delhi Police in connection with a fire that resulted in the deaths of 21 individuals. The police had been searching for Bajaj since the incident, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, and involved a significant rescue operation. Investigators suspect that negligence and regulatory violations may have played a role in the tragedy. Preliminary findings indicate that the hotel was registered under the Bed and Breakfast (B B) category, allowing only six rooms, yet it was reportedly accommodating around 25 guests. The investigation is also looking into the safety measures in place, including the fact that the building had only one entry and exit point, which likely hampered evacuation efforts. Authorities have registered a criminal case against Bajaj under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for culpable homicide, and they are expanding their inquiry to include three partners allegedly involved in the hotel's operations.
