A major fire engulfs dozens of commercial units and adjoining chawls around a scrap material godown in Mumbai’s Sakinaka area, leaving two people dead and several others injured. The blaze is reported to start in the evening and is brought under control after hours of firefighting, with reports saying it is extinguished around 12.30 am.
Sources describe the incident site along Kherani/Kairani Road near Abdul Rashid Compound in Andheri’s Sakinaka. The outlets agree that firefighters deploy multiple engines and that the response involves the Mumbai Fire Brigade, police, ambulance services and local ward staff. Victims are taken to Rajawadi Hospital for treatment, and the deceased bodies are recovered from the scene and sent for post-mortem examination.
While there is broad agreement on the location, the recovery of two charred bodies, and the prolonged firefighting timeline, outlets differ on the number of injured reported (four, six, or unspecified total) and on the exact start time given for the fire. One report also specifies the blaze level as Level-2, alongside casualty counts and burn percentages for several injured people.
