Those behind Plasco Building Fire to Be Punished: Minister

Iran’s Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli said on Wednesday that all perpetrators of the tragic fire and collapse of Plasco Building in Tehran will be identified and certainly be brought to justice.

Talking to reporters, Rahmani Fazli said once all relevant institutes release their final reports on the fire in Plasco and its collapse, the culprits will be punished.

The incident is under investigation and all evidence indicate that electrical fault caused it, he added, as reported by IRNA.

The high-rise building caught fire earlier in Thursday, January 19, and came down as it was turned into rubble and the firefighters attempting to put out fire were all trapped inside. The operation to unearth their bodies are still underway.
