PTI URD Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Deepak Sherawat issued the NBWs against them. The court is hearing a case related to the tampering of evidence in the case after Krishnamoorthy, who lost two children in the fire, pressed for an early date contending it was a 10-year-old matter which has been already delayed.
Krishnamoorthy has been fighting a legal battle on behalf of the victims' families for the last 20 years.
