The bench noted a stock of highly inflammable materials such as petrol, fibres and fibreglass sheets were stored at the facility. "Yuvrajsinh Solanki, a partner in the Raceway Enterprise, which operated the TRP game zone, and the entertainment facility's manager Nitin Jain have so far been arrested," said Rajkot Deputy Commissioner of Police (crime) Parthrajsinh Gohil.
