New Delhi: A massive fire broke out in a factory in Narela industrial area of the capital city, killing at least three people and injuring six, an official said on Saturday.

The official said that a gas leak in one of the pipelines caused the fire to spread in the factory, which led to overheating of the compressor and resulted in a blast.

The deceased are identified as Shyam (24), Ram Singh (30) and Beerpal (42).

According to police, on Saturday at 3:35 a.m., a police control room (PCR) call was received in Narela industrial area police station regarding a fire in the factory and some people trapped in it.

“Acting on the call, the police team reached the spot, which was Shayam Kripa Foods Pvt Ltd, where fire engulfed the factory and some persons were in the factory. A total of nine victims were rescued and shifted to RHC Hospital, Narela,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outernorth) R. K. Singh.
