As fire blocked the entrance of the four-story building, survivors had to run to the terrace and jump on the terraces of adjacent buildings in a desperate attempt to escape the blaze.

“When we saw the fire flames, we called the police and tried to escape. However, due to the high flames and smoke, we couldn’t go downstairs. So we ran towards the building terrace. From there we jumped to another building to save our lives,” Babita said.

Manoj (30), his wife Suman (25), and their two nieces aged 10 and seven years died after a massive fire broke out in a residential building in the Shastri Nagar area of Delhi’s Shahdara in the early hours of Thursday. Eleven others suffered burns.
