An eye-witness to the incident, actor Manish Chaturvedi said, “The incident occurred 2.30 am-3 am. I had returned from a party around 1.30 am and was sleeping. Suddenly, around 2.45 am I could sense a burning smell in the air. I woke up and first searched my room. I then woke my brother up. We then saw the smoke rising. We then called up the fire brigade.
“I was able to place a call at 3:06 am but there was no response from the other side. I think had they been alert the loss would not have been this much. Police did arrive on time. The situation was very heart-rending,” he added.
