A fire occurred on the first floor of a residence in the Vivek Vihar area of Delhi on Tuesday morning, according to ANI and The News Mill.
A security guard on duty reported that smoke was seen emanating from the building before the flames began to spread. This prompted people at the location to contact the fire brigade.
