MOHALI: The main cause of fire in the 45 odd hutments in Derabassi on in which an 18-month-old girl was charred to death on Saturday was stubble burning. The hutments were adjoining the fields where the stubble was burnt. Police on Sunday booked the farmland owner, Jeet Singh, a resident of Dafarpur village in Derabassi, for causing death due to negligence and disobedience of orders issued by a public servant.
The flames from the stubble believed to have shifted course due to winds and reached the hutments on the edge of the farmland.
