Mother’s Brave Act: Saves Child by Throwing from Window

In a heart-wrenching moment, a mother threw her child from a hotel window to save it from the fire. The infant suffered minor burn injuries and was rushed to Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Hospital. Several others jumped from windows to escape the blaze.

Four Confirmed Dead, Several Injured

Dr. Arvind Khare, Superintendent of JLN Hospital, confirmed the deaths of four people. A total of five individuals, including the rescued child, were admitted to the hospital with burn-related injuries.

Rescue teams faced significant challenges due to the narrow access roads leading to the hotel. Several police and fire personnel also fell ill from smoke and heat exhaustion during the operation. Additional SP Himanshu Jangid was on-site with his team coordinating the efforts.

Short Circuit Suspected as Cause

Preliminary reports suggest that the fire was triggered by a short circuit. The building’s electrical systems are under investigation as authorities work to determine the exact cause of the incident.

Eyewitness Mangilal Kalosiya recalled hearing a loud explosion, likely from an air conditioner, followed by thick smoke. “We ran out, called for help, and broke the glass from outside. A woman dropped her child into my arms. Others also jumped to save themselves,” he said.

Fire Brigade Arrived After Delay

Witnesses stated that fire brigade teams reached the scene about 30 minutes after the first alert. Efforts are ongoing to assess the damage and ensure no one remains trapped inside.
