Rajkot, June 17 The Gujarat government has formed a three-member committee to probe the Rajkot TRP Game Zone fire tragedy that killed 28 people, including children, on May 25.

Ashwini Kumar will present the report before the Gujarat High Court on July 4.
The tragic incident is already being probed by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), Rajkot Police, Crime Branch, and the Special Operations Group (SOG).
Prakashchand Hiran, one of the co-owners and an accused in the case, was among the 28 people who lost their lives in the fire incident.
Of the 11 individuals charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, 10, including six co-owners and four Rajkot civic body officials, have been arrested so far.
