17 People Died in Hotel Fire, Yet Owner Not Arrested, Must Belong to BJP: Delhi Minister

Days after the fire at a Karol Bagh hotel, Delhi Home Minister Satyendar Jain has sought to link the owner with the BJP. Speaking to ANI, Jain wondered why the owner of Arpit Palace had not been arrested yet though 17 people had died in the blaze. 
“It is surprising that the owner of the hotel has not been arrested yet by police, looks like he belongs to some political party. He probably belongs to the BJP that is why has not been arrested till now,” Jain was quoted as saying by ANI.
The minister added that a magisterial inquiry was underway in the matter. Meanwhile, the Delhi government has cancelled fire safety licences of 30 establishments in the area in the past two days for violations. Jain said that the fire department will intensify its drive across the city to prevent recurrence of Karol Bagh-like incident.
