Since the Ruby Hotel and the e-bike showroom were being illegally run by Rajender Singh Bagga, Sumeet Singh and brothers, they have been booked for culpable homicide.

The enquiry report of the state disaster response revealed that there was no proper ventilation, the smoke filled the lobbies of the hotel upstairs and those staying in rooms with doors closed apparently did not know anything till the smoke engulfed the entire building.
