[b]Kolkata:[/b] The massive fire at the AMRI Hospital in south Kolkata's Dhakuria may have originated from the northwest side of the basement, forensic experts later on Friday said. The officials visited the hospital where people perished due to suffocation caused by the smoke.
State Forensic Research Laboratory Director Dhurjoti Sengupta said they could not collect specimens as the basement was under two feet of water. "When the water recedes, we will be able to make an examination," he said.
Six owners of the hospital were arrested on Friday following the massive fire in which at least 88 people have been killed. The six who have been arrested are SK Todi, RS Goenka, Ravi Todi, Manish
Goenka, Prasanta Goenka and Dayananda Agarwal, and the licence of the hospital has been cancelled.
