A deadly fire that killed three people in Delhi's Tughlakabad Extension was a planned act of arson and not an accident, according to Delhi Police. Police have arrested three people and detained a 17-year-old girl for allegedly conspiring to set the fire. Investigators said the accused used the minor to ignite the blaze over a personal and financial dispute. The fire broke out in the early hours of June 12 in a five-storey residential building. Three people — Pankaj, Sushila Devi and Sonia Kumari — died, while several others were injured. Police said CCTV footage and the investigation helped uncover the alleged conspiracy, and further probe is underway.
