On Wednesday, a police team visited the residence of Lovkesh Bajaj, co-owner of Flourish Stay B&B, after preliminary inquiries revealed serious violations of building and fire safety regulations at the property

According to officials, the property had permission to operate only six rooms under the bed-and-breakfast scheme. However, investigators found that the premises allegedly contained 25 rooms

Investigators are examining whether these alleged violations contributed to the scale of the tragedy

Preliminary findings by Delhi Fire Services suggest that the blaze may have originated near the ground-floor staircase, where combustible material had reportedly been stored

Officials said the fire spread rapidly through the building, although the exact cause can only be determined after a detailed forensic examination
