Police suspect foul play in Andheri flat fire that killed 3
foul play in a fire that broke out Wednesday in a flat at Andheri's Lokhandwala Complex, resulting in the deaths of three individuals, reported TOI. Among the deceased were a visually impaired senior citizen, his elderly wife, and their domestic help.
During the initial inspection, authorities discovered bloodstains in the living room, raising immediate concerns. Notably, while the couple's bed was charred, nearby curtains remained untouched, according to the TOI report. Police also noted a «distinct smell of kerosene» in the apartment.
Initial reports indicated that the fire may have originated from the flat's air conditioning unit, noted TOI… However, neighbours reported that the couple rarely used the AC, casting doubt on the possibility of a short circuit. Additionally, other household items were found intact, raising further questions about the fire's cause and why only the bed was destroyed.
The fire broke out 8 in the morning on the 10th floor of Riya Palace building, located on 4th Cross Road at the Lokhandwala Complex, reported PTI. The news agency had further reported that the fire brigade had doused the flames by 9 am.
The three who died in the blaze at Riya Palace building were identified as marine engineer Chander Prakash Soni (73), his homemaker wife Kanta (65) and their domestic help Ravi Bhatia (43), reported TOI. They were injured in the fire and were taken to the Cooper Hospital where doctors declared them brought dead, a civic official said.
