The Delhi Fire Service says it receives information about the incident at about 3.37 p.m. and dispatches several fire tenders to the site. Injured people are taken to hospital for treatment. While Times of India and The Hindu report one death and five injuries (six injured total), Free Press Journal reports two deaths and several injured, with two reportedly dying after admission.
Across outlets, the cause of the explosion is not established.
