During the probe, police came to know that the car was registered in the name of Muhammad Zain and one Kamran had recently purchased it from him and started using it in his car rental service.

It was further revealed that the car was obtained on rent by Qamar Ali Sidhu but it could not be confirmed whether Sidhu himself was in the car, as the remains of three victims were not recognisable.

Police said the cause of the fire was also still unknown.
