A tragic fire at a grocery store in Delhi's Tikri Kalan claimed the lives of a couple, Vineet and Renu.

A heartbreaking incident unfolded in Delhi's Tikri Kalan as a grocery store blaze claimed the lives of a couple, Vineet and Renu, leaving their two young sons devastated. The couple, dedicated to providing better lives for their children, tragically suffocated inside their store on Friday night.

The fire reportedly started due to a suspected electrical short circuit near the counter, igniting nearby plastic items. In a desperate attempt to prevent the fire from spreading, Vineet and Renu tried to lower the store's shutter, inadvertently trapping themselves inside, leading to deadly suffocation, according to police reports.

Their children, who first noticed the smoke, alerted relatives. Rescue efforts were hindered by an electric current flowing through the shutter. Despite rescue attempts and transport to a nearby hospital, the couple was declared dead. The grieving family demands an investigation to uncover how the tragedy unfolded.
