New Delhi: A 40-year-old man was charred to death after a fire broke out at a factory in Gandhi Nagar on Thursday.
Delhi Fire Service (DFS) officers said they received a call around 3 am regarding the fire in Gyan Mohalla. Five fire tenders were rushed to the spot. “The fire broke out on the first floor of a three-storey building where a factory was running. A charred body was found,” an officer said.
DFS director Atul Garg said the deceased was identified as Sanju (40). He was a native of Bulandshahr and worked in the factory.
Narrow lanes in the area made the firefighting tough. “Fire tenders could not reach the exact location due to the narrow street. However, with the help of the residents, the fire was extinguished on the first floor,” said deputy commissioner of police (Shahdara) R Sathiyasundaram.
“Sanju was found in an unconscious condition and was rushed to hospital where he was declared brought dead. Just two days ago, the victim had returned from his native place,” the officer said. A case was registered. A resident of Ashok Nagar was using the premises for manufacturing and storage of shirts, cops said. TNN
