Delhi: Fire at Connaught Place restaurant, six injured

A fire broke out at Bikkgane Biryani restaurant in Connaught Place on Thursday morning, 13 March, injuring six people with severe burn injuries, a Delhi Fire Services (DFS) official said.

The DFS dispatched six fire tenders to the scene after receiving an alert around 11:55 a.m. However, the fire is yet to be brought under control, the official said.

The fire broke out in the restaurant's kitchen due to an LPG cylinder leakage, the officer added.

The injured have been taken to RML Hospital for treatment.

Just two weeks ago, Connaught Place had also seen a fire at Imperial Spice restaurant. There were no casualties in that instance.
