Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat, Ram Mokariya, has stirred controversy by revealing that he paid a bribe of Rs 70,000 to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the fire department of the Rajkot Municipal Corporation.

In response to the tragic fire at the TRP Gaming Zone in Rajkot, which resulted in the loss of 27 lives, including children, the Gujarat Home Minister has called for comprehensive action against those responsible. Subhash Trivedi, head of the Special Investigation Team (SIT), confirmed this during a press briefing on Wednesday.

One person named in the Rajkot TRP game zone FIR was killed in the fire in which the death toll was 27 (34 according to other sources), police said on Wednesday, adding that another partner in the amusement and gaming park had been arrested.

A court in Gujarat's Rajkot city Monday sent three men arrested in connection with the TRP game zone fire that claimed 27 lives to 14-day police remand.

The court in a special hearing on Sunday had said the fire was a "Manmade disaster in which innocent lives were lost."
