A massive fire at Surat's textile hub was not an accident but a deliberate act of arson, police have confirmed. Vinod Pandit Savle allegedly set fire to his former employer's shop using petrol worth Rs 150 and two matchsticks, reportedly over a Rs 10,000 grievance. The blaze quickly spread beyond the intended target, causing damage estimated at Rs 24 crore. After starting the fire, Savle fled to religious sites in Khatu Shyam and Ayodhya to evade authorities. He was arrested by police upon returning from his trip.
