asphyxiation after a fire broke out in a hotel outside central railway station here today.
Apparently, the fire broke out due to short circuit and it took one hour to douse the flames, fire brigade officials said.
Ashok Manji, a staffer at the hotel, was pulled out and rushed to a nearby hospital, police said, adding that he succumbed to the burn injuries later.
Chief fire officer S K Kuswah said that a probe has been ordered to know the exact reason of the fire.
