New Delhi: Delhi Police on Saturday arrested two owners of a private company in connection with the Mundka fire incident. The company was operating in the building where the accident took place. Police is now looking for the landlord Manish Lakar, who is still absconding.

Harish Goyal and Varun Goel, owners of a company that manufactures CCTV and routers, have been arrested under various criminal sections, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, police sources said here. 

Deputy Commissioner of Police outer district Sameer Sharma on Saturday said that action would be taken against officers also if they are found guilty in the investigation.

"We've registered FIR under appropriate sections. Action will be taken against everyone who did anything wrong or didn't follow rules. We will do a proper investigation, action will be taken against officers too if they're found culpable," the officer said.
