Seven people have been killed so far and nine others injured after
a fire ravaged a two-storey building in Indore city in India's Madhya Pradesh.
The blaze, which started at 3:10 am local time, was reportedly
caused by a short circuit in the main electric supply system. It rapidly burned
the building down and the flames spread to nearby vehicles, Indian private
broadcaster NDTV reports.
Five of the injured have been hospitalised in serious condition.
The building, which had one flat on each floor, had no fire safety
equipment installed. Police detained its owner Ansar Patel and a case has been
registered against him for causing death by negligence, according to NDTV.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan offered his
condolences to the family members of the victims and hoped for a speedy
recovery of the injured.
"I pray to God to give place to the departed souls at his
feet and give strength to the family members to bear this deep sorrow and to
give speedy recovery to the injured," he tweeted, according to NDTV.
