Seven persons were rescued after a fire broke out in the parking lot of a residential colony in south-east Delhi’s Abul Fazal Enclave in the early hours of Wednesday, a Delhi Fire Service official said.
The fire department said that a six-year-old boy sustained minor injuries in the incident and was taken to a nearby hospital. He was discharged after treatment. Three cars, four motorcycles and two scooters were gutted in the fire. “A short-circuit in the electric meter at the parking lot led to the fire,” the officer said.
