“The firemen evacuated six people from the third floor of the building. One of them, Pawan Kumar (32), has been admitted to the Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital with 25-30 per cent burns.
“The others were identified as Nitu Singh (50), Harshit (17), Ranu Devi (85), Meena Shukla (65) and Rohit Shukla. All are safe now,” the official said.
