A short circuit in the junction box at the house was the cause of the fire. The fire broke out at 1:12 am on Tuesday night and came under control at around 2 am.
Three more people named Pankaj (37), Swati (34), and Darshana (74) were trapped in the fire.
However, all are presently under treatment and stable.
