After the arrest of Tuli, all the owners of the Mojo’s Bistro and ‘1 Above’ have been arrested.

The other co-owner of the night pub, Yug Pathak, the son of former Pune police commissioner KK Pathak, was arrested on January 6.

Nearly 14 people died and 21 were left injured after a deadly fire engulfed Mojo’s Bistro and the adjacent 1 Above pub, at the Kamala Mills compound on December 28 last year. 

The fire brigade investigation report had revealed that the fire originated from the charcoal embers used for hookah smoking in Mojo Bistro and then spread to the "1 Above" pub on the floor above. 

The fire department report is in contrast to earlier reports that indicated that the fire started at "1 Above".
