A woman and her two minor children died in a fire at a residence in Delhi’s Lodhi Colony, police said.
Fire department personnel responded to the blaze and extinguished it, but the three occupants were found dead at the scene. Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the fire, with officials examining whether it was accidental or the result of foul play.
The incident has prompted an inquiry by local police and fire safety officials into the circumstances surrounding the deaths, though a cause had not been confirmed as of the latest update.
Fire safety officials in Delhi have flagged aging residential wiring and inadequate emergency exits as recurring risk factors in similar incidents across the capital’s older residential colonies in recent years.
