Police allege teen followed Sarita's orders
Police believe the blaze started when a 17-year-old girl, acting on Sarita's orders, set fire to a resident's scooter over an unpaid loan of ₹50,000 to ₹80,000.
Sarita, Niranjan and Rajkumar were arrested, and a 17-year-old girl was apprehended; CCTV footage shows the teen entering and leaving just before the flames spread.
Two accused have prior criminal records, while Sarita is facing charges for the first time.
