Desperate Plea in Lift: Civil Services Aspirant’s Final Moments in Karol Bagh Fire

The Karol Bagh fire at Vishal Mega Mart claimed the lives of Kumar Dhirendra Pratap Singh and Pawan Gautam. Singh, a civil services aspirant, sent a heartbreaking message to his brother, Vikram, from within the lift, detailing his struggle to breathe. The building was found to be without a valid fire safety certificate. Gautam, a lab technician, was also a victim. The fire service was notified, and firefighters worked to extinguish the flames, facing difficulties due to inadequate ventilation. Initial reports indicate a short circuit initiated the fire. The incident has sparked calls for thorough investigations and accountability.
