No sooner were the big blaze doused that miscreants and criminals reportedly had a field day. They came to the ground like vultures and took out bangles, mangalsutras, nose rings and finger rings from dead bodies.
Most of the persons who died in Victoria Park were females. According to BJP MLA Luxmi Kant Vajpayee many purses were collected from the dead bodies and those seriously injured. The pick of the day/night were those who had suffered from 60 to 70 per cent burn injuries.
Even the petticoats and bras of the dead or the injured were searched as ladies often keep money inside the lining of their petticoats or under the bras. Meanwhile, the BJP and the Congress have alleged that many counter girls are untraceable.
The services of these counter girls were requisitioned from New Delhi, NOIDA and Ghaziabad to manage counters and boost sales, according to Vajpayee only four counter girls are admitted to hospitals in Meerut.
There were more than 100 counter girls who had been appointed to give fillip to sales and to explain to customers vividly about the products on display. It is learnt that in great hurry the bulldozers were ordered to remove the debris from the Victoria Park and many bodies were removed in the name of debris removal.
