The Delhi Police said on Monday that bio samples from 26 people had been collected so far for DNA profiling in the Mundka tragedy.
The Delhi Police on Monday said it has so far collected biological samples of a total of 26 people, whose family members are believed to be killed in the fire at a building in outer Delhi's Mundka, for DNA profiling.
Preliminary investigation has suggested that various lapses, including lack of fire fighting equipment and a blocked staircase, led to the tragedy, police said.
At least 27 people were charred to death in the massive blaze that ripped through the four-storey building on Friday, according to the police.
"A total of 26 samples have been collected for DNA profiling, which will be carried out by forensic experts," a senior police officer said.
