Old man dies in Delhi fire
New Delhi, April 4 : A septuagenarian died on Tuesday in a huge fire in a south Delhi locality, police said.
Police said the body of Ratan Singh, 80, was found after the fire at Variety Decorators Ltd., dealing in supply of tents for weddings, in Sunlight Colony near Ashram Chowk, was doused.
"Six fire engines took three hours to douse the fire that began around 1.20 p.m. in the basement of the three-storey building. The fire later engulfed the whole building," Deputy Commissioner of Police Romil Baaniya said.
Ratan was working as a tailor at the shop. Prima facie, an electrical short circuit caused the fire, police said.
