LUCKNOW — Fifteen people were “brought dead” at a hospital here and seven injured were undergoing treatment after a massive fire gutted a three-floor commercial building housing an animation centre on Monday, according to a hospital official.
Dr Anil Agrawal, Medical Superintendent, Trauma Centre, KGMU, said that “21 to 22 children were been brought in” after the incident.
“Fifteen people have been brought in a deceased state. They will be sent to the morgue for autopsy after completing the inquest procedure,” he said.
Five had minor injuries and were admitted. “Due to two children jumping, they suffered back injuries, so they are also being treated after CT scans and other procedures,” he said. — (PTI)
