Delhi Fire Tragedy | How Safety Lapses Led To Blaze | How Guests Kept Locked Amid Delhi Hotel Fire
The deadly fire that ripped through a hotel in Delhi's Malviya Nagar on Wednesday was likely caused due to a short circuit, sources told NDTV on Thursday amid speculation that it was triggered by a cylinder blast. 21 people were killed, including nine Indians and 12 foreigners, after a fire broke out at Flourish Stay, a bed-and-breakfast in the Hauz Rani area, one of the congested neighbourhoods in South Delhi. The blaze - the deadliest one in the national capital since 2022 - also left a dozen others injured. The fire started around 8:30 am and quickly spread through the five-floor narrow building that had 22 rooms, only one entry-exit point, permanently sealed windows and a sensor-operated main door.
