"The showroom, godown and the service centre " all are attached to the residence of the owner. The elderly woman is the owner's mother. She seemed to have died of suffocation," in-charge of the local police station Abhay Kumar Sinha told PTI.
Prima facie, it appears that the fire broke out due to short-circuit.
"We are finding out the exact cause of the fire," he said.
