On Monday, a tragic incident took place in a nine-storey building in Kandivli. Former Indian Premier League cricketer Paul Valthaty's sister Glory Roberts and her 8-year-old son Joshua were among the two casualties of the fire. Reports suggest that Paul was downstairs at the time and was helping other people escape.
Glory had recently come to India from Scotland with Joshua and her husband Noel. She wanted to see her ailing mother.
When the fire started, Noel instructed Glory and Joshua to go downstairs with the maids. They reached the first floor, but the raging fire and heat prevented them from going any further. They even tried to reach the terrace, but couldn't make it. The maids are now in critical condition.
The fire spread from the electric wiring and other electrical installations on the first floor of the building. It was declared as Level 1 and was doused at 4.34pm. The injured were later taken to the BMC-run Shatabdi Hospital.
This terrible tragedy has left Paul, his family, and the rest of the community in shock and mourning. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.
