Mysore/Mysuru: City Police have cracked the library burning case with the arrest of a person, who has been accused of throwing a match stick into a sofa repair shop behind the library, which caused the fire. This had resulted in the library of Kannada book-lover Syed Isak getting destroyed in fire in the wee hours of Apr. 9.
Disclosing this at a press meet at his office here yesterday, City Police Commissioner Dr. Chandragupta, who briefed presspersons by displaying CCTV footages, said that sheer negligence on the part of accused Syed Nasir by throwing a lit match stick on sofa waste after lighting a beedi caused the fire. The 35-year-old accused was arrested yesterday morning at Rajivnagar, based on CCTV footages and statements from witnesses, he added.
