Cops escort the arrested managers of 1 Above to court

Arrested for fleeing their post and abandoning trapped customers in the Kamala Mills blaze on December 29, the managers of rooftop restaurant 1 Above yesterday told the court, "We are innocent and tried our best to save people." Kevin Bawa, manager, and Lisbon Lopez, assistant manager, had allegedly neglected to inform patrons that the emergency exit was blocked, leaving many people trapped. Fourteen died in the fire.
