Delhi Police Investigate Masked Woman and Arrests in Govindpuri Fire CasePreviousNext

A fire broke out early on June 12 in a five-storey residential building in Govindpuri, Delhi, killing three family members and injuring two others. Initial inquiries suggested a short circuit, but CCTV footage showing a masked woman entering the building minutes before the blaze has led police to investigate possible arson. Authorities have apprehended a minor and three others allegedly involved in a conspiracy linked to a personal dispute. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause and roles.
