The cause of the fire still remains unclear, however, RaajjeMV understands that the spark was created due to a lit cigarette near an oil bowser while it was refueling a speedboat docked at the T-Jetty.

Authorities are yet to confirm this.

While the speedboat where the fire sparked sank after a while and there are reported oil leaks in the region, police revealed that no arrests have been made thus far in the incident.
