The mystery fire, which claimed the life of 14-year-old Harshal on Apr.16, after he was stuck in the loose soil with high concentration of chemicals at Shyadanahalli near Belavatha on Apr. 13, has prompted the Police Department and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) to conduct separate investigations to find out the reasons behind the mystery fire.
Metagalli Police Inspector Sunil Kumar, speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, said that they had collected soil samples at three different spots.
