The blast occurred on June 30. Following a complaint lodged by the kin of the deceased, the BDL-Bhanur police registered a case of culpable homicide against the company management. The arrest was made after the Telangana High Court insisted on action against the factory management during hearing a public interest litigation filed by a group of scientists.
