According to Mizan, Iran's Legal News Agency, Araf Akbari said that the charge is "negligence, imprudence and neglect of the duties of legal and organizational requirements effective in preventing the occurrence and spread of the accident" and this case was sent to court.
Mr. Akbari said that 58 people were killed and 628 people were injured in the blast.
