New DelhiFirecrackers were being manufactured in the Bawana factory where 17 people were killed in a massive blaze last Saturday, police told a city court on Wednesday. “Cold firecrackers used during Holi were being manufactured and packaged in the Bawana factory. The court told the investigating agency that whenever Jain seeks the presence of the counsel, he should be provided access even during police interrogation. But the investigating officer said that on account of the security arrangements due to Republic Day, it would be difficult to produce him on January 27. The court then granted the police five-day custody of the suspect.
