The death toll in a massive fire that broke out in a building near Delhi's Mundka metro station on May 13 rose to 27.
“27 bodies have been recovered so far and 8 injured have been admitted to the hospital. We are trying to douse the flames. There must have been some carelessness,” Satyendar Jain, Health Minister, Delhi.
Earlier in the day, on preliminary enquiry, it was found that it is a three-story commercial building generally used for providing office space for companies, the police said. The fire broke on the 1st floor of the building which is an office of a CCTV cameras and router manufacturing company. The owner of the company is in police custody.
"Efforts are being made to control the situation," the police said. Further details are awaited.
