Fire At Rooftop Restaurant In Mumbai's Kamala Mills Compound Kills 14, Several Injured | Read

Fourteen people including 12 women, most of them in their twenties and early thirties, were killed in a massive fire that started from a restaurant in Mumbai's Kamala Mills compound late on Thursday evening, and spread rapidly to nearly restaurants and offices as well. Fire-fighters took more than three hours to douse the huge flames that leapt up in central Mumbai's nightlife hub. Initial reports indicate most of the casualties were reported from the vicinity of the restaurants that had opened in the 37-acre premises over the last few years. A case of culpable homicide has been registered against owners of the restaurant "1 Above" where the fire broke out. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said he has asked the civic body chief to "take strong action against erring officials".
