Fire at Andhra Pradesh hospital, Doctor and 2 children died

A 45-year-old doctor and his two children were killed in a fire that broke out due to an alleged short circuit at a newly constructed private hospital-cum-residence at Renigunta in Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati district. The initial investigation has revealed that the fire might be caused due to short-circuit.

The fire broke on the top floor of the hospital building where the doctor was living with his family. Dr. Ravishankar Reddy and his son and daughter lost their lives. His wife, Dr. Ananta Lakshmi and his mother were rescued by the firemen and taken to the hospital.

The incident occurred around 4.30 a.m. at Kartika Hospital for children in Bhagat Singh Nagar at Renigunta near the temple town of Tirupati. There were no in-patients at the hospital as it had opened recently. The fire was reportedly triggered due to a short-circuit, following which the doctor suffered from 90% burns and died on the spot while he attempted to save his children, reports the Times of India.
