Dreams Turned to Ashes: Tragic Fire in East Delhi Claims Three Lives

Kanta Prasad, his brother Shyam Singh, and another laborer Jaggi died in a fire in Delhi, disrupting plans for Kanta's daughter's wedding. A diesel container caused the blaze. Survivors and neighbors suspect foul play. Delhi's government announced compensation while police investigated the tragedy.

Tragedy struck in East Delhi as a devastating fire claimed the lives of three laborers living in a makeshift tent. Among the deceased were Kanta Prasad, his brother Shyam Singh, and their colleague Jaggi, who had hoped to see Kanta’s daughter married in just two months.

The fire, which ripped through their small shelter near Anand Vihar, was reportedly sparked by a container of diesel used to light the hut. While Nitin Singh managed a narrow escape, suspicions arose among the bereaved families, who questioned how he survived unscathed.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited the scene, pledging Rs 10 lakh in compensation per family and a rigorous investigation by the police. Meanwhile, neighbors and family members challenge Nitin's account, demanding transparency and truth in this troubling incident.
