On Tuesday, former Karnataka minister and Congress leader Vinay Kulkarni said that one of the partners in the building was his relative and those involved should be punished.
Former chief minister Jagadish Shettar has demanded a "judicial probe by a sitting high court judge" saying he was not satisfied with the inquiry ordered by Mr Kumaraswamy.
After the Chief Minister's order, the district administration announced compensation of Rs 2 lakh for the families of those killed and up to 1 lakh to each of the injured people. Since the Model Code of Conduct is in effect, the decision about additional compensation would be taken by the Chief Secretary.
Chief Secretary Vijay Bhaskar is also monitoring the rescue and rehabilitation work.
