MUMBAI: A senior citizen was killed on Monday night following the breakout of a major fire in Sky Pan, a 13-storey building in Oberoi Complex at Andheri West. The building is 32 years old and has 22 flats.

The Level 2 blaze erupted in 75-year-old Rahul Mishra's duplex flat at 10.02 pm. Mishra, who fell unconscious on account of the smoke, was the only casualty in the fire, and was declared dead on admission to Kokilaben Hospital. Four other family members escaped unhurt, including his son Raunak (38), who was discharged from hospital the next day.
