KANPUR, April 26 -- A 70-year-old trader died and four members of his family were seriously injured after a fire caused by a suspected short circuit broke out in Ghatampur town early on Saturday. The blaze destroyed three wholesale shops and the residential floors above them. The deceased was identified as Ram Kishan, who ran a grocery shop in Deena Market with his brothers Satyanarayan and Rajjan Lal. According to police, neighbours noticed the fire and raised an alarm at around 3 am. Ram Kishan went downstairs, saw the flames and returned upstairs to alert his son. He reportedly lost consciousness due to heavy smoke and was trapped in the fire. His body was recovered nearly five hours later. Those injured were identified as his wife Gomti, 66, son Hariom, 40, daughter-in-law Shreya, 36, their four-month-old son Shivarth, and Satyanarayan's daughter Aayushi. All were admitted to the community health centre for treatment. The three brothers owned adjoining wholesale shops dealing in groceries, cloth and biscuits in the same building. Their families lived on the upper floors. Officials said the fire had already spread to the warehouse and residential floors by the time the alarm was raised. Seven fire tenders, including one led by the chief fire officer, were pressed into service. It took around five hours to bring the blaze under control. ACP Ghatampur KK Yadav said Ram Kishan was surrounded by flames before anyone could rescue him. SHO Manoj Singh Bhadauria said the body had been sent for post-mortem examination and an investigation was under way. Officials said stock and household goods worth crores of rupees were destroyed in the fire....
