A day after three people were killed in a temple fire in Kandivli, the Charkop police arrested two people, including a minor, on the charge of murder. The cops say petrol was thrown into the premises when the trio was fast asleep and the place was set afire.
While the fire brigade had said that a short circuit caused the fire at Shree Sai Sachchidanand Mitra Mandal, Charkop Bandar Pakhadi, locals had refused to call the death of Subhash Khode, Yuvaraj Pawar and Mannu Gupta, all in their mid-twenties, an accident.
