We have an update to a rash of arsons that targeted local people of Indian and Pakistani- descent nearly three years ago.

Amit Mehta has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for deliberately setting a house fire in 2003.

Authorities believe the 51-year-old is also responsible for starting at least 10 other
fires in Harris and Fort Bend counties.

Investigators say he knew his victims and even worshipped with them at the same temple.
