TEHRAN (FNA)- Deputy Commander of Tehran’s Law Enforcement Police Brigadier General Hamid Hodavand blamed personnel flaws for the last Tuesday explosion at a medical center in the capital, stressing that the incident entailed no security aspects or sabotage.
“The criminal investigation department of the police in Tehran have come to the conclusion in their investigations that the fire at Sina clinical center was not related to security issues at all and was the result of flaws,” General Hodavand told FNA on Sunday.
He added that 12 people were arrested in relation to the case, adding that 10 of them have been released after investigations two days ago, one was freed on bail yesterday and another person is still in custody due to inability to provide bail.
Hodavand said that most of the detainees were the clinic’s officials.
The heavy explosion due to gas leak in ‘Sina Athar’ medical center in Northern Tehran on Tuesday resulted in death of 19 people and injury of 14 others.
