In a massive fire that broke out at the fourstorey Hotel Arpit Palace in central Delhi’s Karol Bagh in the early hours of Tuesday, 17 people were killed, including at least three Myanmar nationals, and three sustained injuries. The fire started around 2.30 a.m. but the fire service was alerted two hours later. About 25 fire tenders were pressed into service as soon as the call was received, and 35 persons were rescued.
While 15 of the dead, including three members of a family from Kerala, have been identified, the identity of two could not be ascertained till evening.
The fire is suspected to have started from the first floor and spread to the upper floors, mostly affecting the third and fourth floors and the rooftop where a restaurant was in operation.
An eyewitness who resides behind the hotel said that he saw people jumping from the windows to save themselves.
