The body of a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel who died in the fire that broke out at the office of the Ministry of Social Justice here, has been sent to his native village in Rajasthan after completion of post mortem.
"A PCR call was received regarding fire at the fifth floor of Antyodaya Bhawan of the Ministry Of Social Justice's Divyaangjan Shashktikaran Department. The fire apparently was due to short circuit.
