Delhi's Malviya Nagar fire: Can the owner be charged with culpable homicide?

NEW DELHI: The fire at Flourish Stay B&B in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar that claimed at least 21 lives may trigger a criminal investigation similar to the one seen after the 2022 Mundka fire, where Delhi Police invoked culpable homicide charges against building owners. This time, the FIR has already been filed and the owner is absconding.
