Traders suspect arson 100 shops burnt in Empress Market : 28 March

“Normally we insert Section 436 of the PPC in every fire incident…and in this case the shopkeepers` association had openly expressed suspicions that it was actually an arson attack.”
The SSP said that the FIR was necessary to initiate the process of compensation to the affected shopkeepers. However, when asked as to why the FIR was registered on behalf of the state, he replied that none of the shopkeepers had come forward to lodge the FIR and therefore the police registered the case on their own to avoid any further delay.
Sources said that although the police had constituted an inquiry team, there was a dire need to carry out a probe similar to the one ordered by the then chief secretary to ascertain the cause of fire in the 2009 Revenue Record Office fire incident.
The chief secretary had constituted a special police investigation team, which had scientifically proved that the fire at the revenue record office was an arson attack.(MQM had burnt the entire record,during the same period Babar Ghauri's office at PNSC building also caught fire not once but twice on Sundays,MQM was desperately wiping off its traces of corruption by burning records)
The police had collected samples of the ashes from the scene and had sent them to Lahore for a chemical analysis. The results showed presence of chemicals suggesting that it was arson, a senior officer associated with the investigation told Dawn
