Fifty five-year-old Bagan Prasahad, who was among the victims in the central Delhi fire tragedy on Monday, was eagerly preparing for his daughter's wedding and had been shopping for her big day, relatives said. Four people died in the fire at an illegal workshop in a congested central Delhi locality after one of the workers, a heavily-built man, got stuck at the exit door while escaping and blocked the route for others, firefighters said. Prasahad had booked tickets to visit his family in Deoria, in Uttar Pradesh.

"He was eagerly waiting to visit his family in Deoria. He was supposed to leave for his hometown on December 2 via the Vaishali Express. He had fixed his daughter Nandini's marriage and had even shopped for her big day," Mohan Lal, relative and roommate of the deceased, said. Inderpal, father of another deceased, Aarti, got to know about the fire from an official of the firm.
