A court in Guwahati denied a police request for remand, leading to the arrest of the accused in the 2024 hotel firing case.
The Guwahati Sessions Court rejected a police petition for remand in the 2024 hotel firing case, ordering the immediate arrest of the accused.
The accused, whose name has not yet been released, was taken into custody by the Guwahati Police on Thursday evening after the court’s decision.
The case involves a fire that broke out in a hotel in Guwahati last year, resulting in several injuries. Investigations have linked the accused to the incident.
Police officials said they had submitted a detailed report to the court, but the judge deemed the evidence insufficient to justify a remand and directed the arrest instead.
