Sudden Ball of Fire and Panic
The viral clip begins with a crowd gathered near the scene of the fire on the ground floor of a residential-cum-commercial building. Within seconds, a massive explosion occurs right in the middle of the raging flames, sending a giant fireball into the air. The deafening sound of the blast triggered widespread panic, prompting onlookers and bystanders to scatter in absolute fear to save their lives.
Tragic Loss of Lives and Critical Injuries
According to reports, the devastating fire broke out unexpectedly in the grocery store. As the flames rapidly engulfed the entire shop, they reached the stored LPG cylinders, leading to the catastrophic explosion. Tragically, the trader's daughter-in-law and her young daughter lost their lives in the inferno, plunging the entire family and neighborhood into deep mourning.
Meanwhile, the shop owner's son and a worker employed at the store sustained severe burn injuries. They were rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency medical treatment, where their condition is reported to be critical. Authorities and fire rescue teams rushed to the scene to douse the flames, but the incident has left behind a trail of irreversible grief and destruction.
