Lakra had switched off and destroyed his mobile phone so that he could not be located.

Twenty seven human lives were perished on May 13 in one of the deadliest tragedies that the national capital has seen in the recent years when a massive fire gutted a multi-storey building located near a metro station, charring to death 27 and wounding 12 people in west Delhi's Mundka area.

Lakra used to live on the fourth floor of the commercial building, and he managed to escape to the adjacent building along with his family members when the fire broke out, police said.

During inquiry, it was found that the building was owned by Manish Lakra, who lives on the fourth floor of the building, it said.

An atmosphere of grief pervaded the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital where the injured, as well as the dead bodies, were taken after the incident on Friday evening.

The Delhi Police have registered an FIR in the massive Mundka fire incident that claimed the lives of 27 people, an official said on Saturday.

The relatives of the people, who were inside the building at the time of the blaze in Mundka, are still clueless and unable to find their loved ones on Saturday, 15 hours after the inferno killed 27 people.

27 persons were killed and as many as 60 persons were rescued at Mundka in the national capital where a massive fire engulfed a building.
