The police and the fire department officials are still waiting for the forensic analysis report of Andheri's Lokhandwala fire incident on October 16, in which three people were killed. “It’s been five days and we are still clueless about the source of the fire. I have been working in the fire department for many years, and it’s the first time that we have no clue about the fire. We await the forensics to determine the source of fire,” a fire services official said.  

On Wednesday at around 8 am, a fire in a flat at an upscale Lokhandwala building—Riya Palace—resulted in the deaths of two senior citizens and their housekeeper. All three—Chander Prakash Soni, 74, Kanta Soni, 74, and Pelubeta, 42—were pronounced dead upon arrival at Cooper Hospital. The Oshiwara police had registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in this matter. According to the fire services department, when they reached the residence of the Soni couple, they found the couple unconscious in the bedroom and house help unconscious in the living room.
