Mangalore Today News Network

Mumbai, Jan 01,2018 :  Two managers of a rooftop pub in Mumbai have been arrested in connection with the fire in Kamala Mills that killed 14 people on December 29.

 

After talking to survivors, the police believe the fire had started at 1Above pub. But the pub’s managers have blamed the adjacent Mojo’s Bistro. They claim they are being targeted as the owners of the adjacent pub are influential.

The 1Above management have already written to the President, Prime Minister, Chief Minister, Mumbai Police Commissioner and civic body chief alleging there was a conspiracy against them. Demanding that the matter be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, they alleged, "The concerned police station is linked in destroying the evidence on site and making false reports".

Mojo’s Bistro claims not a single death took place on their premises because they had followed the rules.  A statement released yesterday by one of the partners said a month ago, its staff had undergone training in first aid, CPR, and fire drills. This, the statement read, was why the staff "was able to locate the building fire exits and evacuate guests to safety, without any injuries or casualties".
