Prayer meet for Uphaar victims

Prayer meet for Uphaar victims
New Delhi:

It has been 12 years since the Uphaar tragedy. But even as the verdict is out in the case, most of the victims do not believe that justice has been done.

The Ansals who were sentenced for a year of imprisonment were out of jail after spending 140 days in jail.

For 28 families in the capital, Friday the 13th of June changed their lives forever - a day when their sons, daughters, friends and relatives died. Fifty nine people died in the Uphaar cinema fire, suffocated to death during a matinee show.

Theatre owners Sushil and Gopal Ansal were sentenced for negligence in fire safety norms and the families of the victims say it is just not enough.
