A 16-year-old girl, Shravani Ashok Chavan, died in a fire that broke out in a room on the third floor of a five-storey building inside the Dadar police station compound at around 1:30 pm on Sunday. While the police have registered a case of accidental death, they are looking into the possibility of her death being a suicide after witnesses at the spot mentioned that she may have self-immolated.

Some fire officials too suspected it to be the case. "We have seen such cases before. Only one person died and there were no other injuries. There is a chance that she may have set herself on fire. But we can only know for sure once the police have conducted their investigation," said the official.
