July-5, 2025: A 25-year-old man, Kumar Dhirender Pratap Singh, was found dead inside a lift after a devastating fire broke out at a Vishal Mega Mart outlet in Delhi’s bustling Karol Bagh area on Friday.
According to officials, Singh got trapped in the lift of the four-storey retail store as thick smoke and flames rapidly spread through the building. Thirteen fire engines were dispatched to control the blaze, which gutted large quantities of fabric, groceries, and other merchandise.
