Pune: A magistrate court has ordered the Faraskhana police station to investigate the fire incident at an old wada in Shukrawar Peth in May, which led to the death of a 45-year-old trader Pravin Dwarkaprasad Bansal. The complainant has alleged that the fire was caused to take over the property. The order was issued on Wednesday under section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code by Judicial Magistrate (First Class) ND Meshram.

As per the petition, the property bearing Survey No 1532 situated at Shukrawar Peth admeasuring 228.3 sq mt belongs to Harihar Mandir Sansthan, Pune, and accordingly, the name of the said Sansthan is registered in the city survey records and the name of Harnarayan Pannalal Malpani is mentioned as panch of the said property.

An area admeasuring 13 by 44 at ground floor and 18 by 34 on the first floor was given by Harihar Mandir Sansthan to complainant’s father in 1949 on rent of Rs 605 per annum.
