New Delhi: Three people were killed and 16 others injured on Wednesday in a blaze that engulfed a residential building here, police said.
"The four-storey building in Shahdara caught fire due to an electric fault as a few battery-rickshaw drivers were charging their vehicles on the ground floor," a police official told IANS.
"The building housed four families, all relatives, and a tenant family," he said, adding the identities of the victims were yet to be verified.
The blaze has been put out since.
