A devastating fire in a two-storey house in Vishnu Garden, Khayala, West Delhi, resulted in the tragic death of 13-year-old Yashpreet Singh and injuries to his grandmother, Sharanjeet Kaur (65). The fire broke out around 2:43 am while an electric scooter was being charged, with a short circuit suspected as the cause. Yashpreet, a Class 8 student, was sleeping on the ground floor with his uncle Gurjit Singh when the blaze started. Despite attempts to wake him, he remained in deep sleep until his family realized he was still inside. They managed to break down the door to pull him out, but he was declared dead upon arrival at Guru Gobind Singh Hospital. Sharanjeet was treated for her injuries and later discharged. The fire reportedly caused the scooter's battery and tire to explode, prompting the response of four fire tenders to control the blaze. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the fire.
