South Delhi Fire Kills Four
A big fire happened in a building in South Delhi on Saturday evening.
The fire started in a shoe shop on the ground floor and spread quickly because of all the plastic and leather shoes inside.
Four people died, including the shop owner and his sister.
Two other people who died were friends who came to buy shoes.
One woman got hurt and is in the hospital.
Police are looking for a man who ran out of the building just before the fire got big.
They think he might know what happened.
The police are also checking the building to find out more about what caused the fire.
A fire in South Delhi's Tigri area killed four people and injured one on Saturday evening.
The blaze started in a ground-floor footwear shop, likely due to a petrol canister ignition.
Identified victims include shop owner Satender (38) and his sister Anita (40).
Police are searching for a survivor who escaped before the fire spread, crucial for establishing the sequence of events.
The rapid spread of the fire is attributed to the presence of synthetic materials stored in bulk at the shop.
