Jaipur Factory Blast: Two Men Who Drove Explosives In From Delhi Also Died, Identified 24 Hours Later

In the explosion and fire at a firecracker factory in Jaipur's Kho Nagorian area, Nasir and Rehan, who had brought explosives from Delhi, were also burned to death, while factory operator Firoz fled the scene.

A startling new angle has emerged in the investigation into the powerful explosion and factory fire in the Kho Nagorian police station area of Jaipur. Police have learned that on the very day of the accident, two young men who had driven in vehicles loaded with explosives from Delhi were also present at the factory, and they too lost their lives when the flames engulfed them. Both could only be identified around 24 hours after the incident.

They Delivered the Cargo and Stayed Back
According to the information, two men named Nasir and Rehan had come from Delhi to Jaipur with the vehicles carrying explosive material. It is being said that the pair set off from Delhi in the early hours and reached this Jaipur factory with the gunpowder-laden vehicles. After the cargo was unloaded, they were normally supposed to head back to Delhi, but for some reason they lingered there and began resting in the factory premises. It was during this time that a sudden, powerful blast tore through the factory, and within moments the fire turned ferocious.

No Chance Even to Escape
After the blast, the flames spread so rapidly that the people inside could not even get out. The police inquiry revealed that Nasir and Rehan were also inside the factory at that moment and were caught in the fire. Severely burned, both were rushed to hospital, but they succumbed during treatment. The investigation has also found that after the explosion, factory operator Firoz fled the scene. He is accused of trying to save himself rather than helping the injured, slipping away from the spot after the accident.

One From Ghaziabad, the Other From Delhi
Among the dead, Nasir is said to be a resident of the Ghaziabad area of Uttar Pradesh, while Rehan was from the Nandpuri locality of Delhi. Both were burned so badly in the accident that they could not be identified at first. With the help of relatives and documents, police established their identities roughly 24 hours later. Police are now working to find out for what purpose the explosive material was being kept at the factory and whether safety norms were followed.

Probe Underway Under the Station In-Charge
Kho Nagorian police are examining the entire case in detail. Under the leadership of station in-charge Prakashram, the team is scrutinising every aspect linked to the running of the factory, the supply of explosive material, its transport and the safety arrangements. Police are also looking into what role the other people present at the factory played and what legal action will be taken against those responsible for the accident. For now the investigation is ongoing, and police say that all the facts in the case will be brought out only after the probe is complete.

What this means for you
• Across India: Firecracker and explosive units running near residential areas without safety norms are a serious danger to ordinary people, and such premises should be reported to the authorities.
• In Jaipur: Residents of Kho Nagorian and nearby areas should stay alert about illegal storage units and factories operating in their neighbourhood, since a single blast can endanger the whole locality.
