“During inspection, Ginotra was found inside the premises with severe burn injuries. He was declared dead at the spot. His body has been shifted to Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital for postmortem examination,” said a police officer.
A senior police officer said preliminary inquiry suggests the fire started due to a short circuit in the office-cum-godown located on the ground floor of the building.
“The deceased was alone at the time of the incident. There are no indications of foul play so far. However, the exact cause of the fire will be ascertained after forensic examination,” the officer added.
Police said the property where the incident took place belongs to Ginotra’s cousin. The crime and forensic teams have inspected the site and collected samples for analysis.
