Rajkot/IBNS: The massive fire at Gujarat's Rajkot, which claimed the lives of 27 including children, also killed one of the owners of the gaming zone TRS.

CCTV footage captured from the time of the fire showed Prakash Hiran present at the scene, and his car was found at the fire site.

Hiran's brother, Jitendra, filed a missing complaint claiming his brother was inside the gaming zone when the fire ripped through the complex.

The forensics department took DNA samples of his mother and confirmed on Tuesday that Prakash was also killed in the blaze.

Several bodies were burnt beyond recognition and the cops used DNA tests to identify the bodies.

Prakash, a partner in Raceway Enterprises, had 60 percent ownership in the gaming zone and was named an accused by the Gujarat Police.
