Karol Bagh hotel fire: 17, including child, killed

A massive fire broke out at Hotel Arpit Palace, situated in New Delhi's Karol Bagh area, on Tuesday which killed seventeen people and left several injured. At least 25 fire tenders were rushed to the spot to douse the fire. The deceased included a woman and a child. They reportedly died when they jumped out of a window to save themselves, claimed reports.

Family, who came to Delhi for function, booked the hotel

The three-storey hotel was booked by a family who came to Delhi to attend a function. The hotel had 35 rooms. According to reports, the fire broke out at 4:30 AM when most of the inmates were sleeping. The blaze spread panic among people and few jumped off the balcony. An amateur video showed a man dangling from the terrace, before jumping off.
