| 2015-02-07 |
| [DAWN] Rangers personnel on Friday presented a report in the Sindh High Court which revealed that a faction of a political party was behind the deadly 2012 Baldia Town fire that consumed at least 258 factory workers. The Joint Investigation Division (JID) report also said that a suspect from the party has been nabbed Book 'im, Mahmoud! The suspect had made several confessions of which the court was apprised today, although his/her identity and affiliation has reportedly not been disclosed in the report. According to sources, Rangers have requested the Sindh High Court to forgo revealing other details of the report before the public on account of what they called its sensitive nature. The court again ordered the Sindh government to compensate 128 legal heirs of the deadly fire's victims still awaiting relief, and present a report before the court in this regard within a week's time. |
