WATCH: CCTV visual answers how fire started at Rajkot's TRP Game Zone

The Rajkot gaming zone fire that claimed 27 lives on Saturday was caused during a welding operation, CCTV footage revealed. Sparks from the welding work on the roof ignited wooden planks kept rightly underneath it -- starting the devastating fire, the video showed.

Men were seen scramming around the flames to remove combustible things from its way. News agency PTI shared a 40-second video in which employees of the TRP Game Zone tried to drag away things from the fire as it dangerously raged in front of them. Chairs, wooden boxes and planks were among the things being engulfed by the fire in the video.

A police official on Saturday told the media that the game zone had fire safety equipment but action taken to control the fire was not sufficient. This increased the degree of the tragedy, the police said.

The Gujarat High Court on Sunday took suo motu cognisance of the fire tragedy, terming it a prima facie "man-made disaster". The bench noted a stock of highly inflammable materials such as petrol, fibres and fibreglass sheets were stored at the facility.
