Two Dead in Noida Building Fire, Owner and Leaseholder in Custody

Two individuals tragically lost their lives in a fire that engulfed a five-storey building in Mamura village, Noida. The incident led to the safe evacuation of over 100 occupants. A man and a woman, in critical condition, were rushed to a nearby hospital but were declared dead by doctors.
Authorities have detained the building owner and leaseholder in connection with the fire. Initial investigations suggest that the blaze originated from a spark in an electric scooter being charged, which then spread to petrol-powered vehicles, escalating the situation.
