MUMBAI: A defective electric circuit provided the spark for the blaze at Notan Villa in Khar last month, which claimed one life, stated the fire brigade’s investigation report. The villa is one of the residential premises of Notandas Jewellers.
The report said that on September 23, the fire erupted from the electric duct on the first floor and spread rapidly into the lobby area, where the body of a 40-year-old woman was found later. A fire officer said that had the woman taken shelter in any of the rooms, it could have been possible to bring her out through a window.
