A blaze that started at a supari centre and grocery shop in Ghoda Nakkas spread to a nearby love lodge, trapping three family members on the third floor, who were later lowered to safety by locals using a rope.
A fire broke out in the Ghoda Nakkas area of Bhopal, originating from a supari centre and an adjoining grocery shop. The flames quickly spread to an adjacent love lodge, engulfing both premises.
Local residents reported that the blaze intensified within minutes, prompting nearby shopkeepers and by‑standers to call emergency services.
Three members of a family who were staying on the third floor of the love lodge became trapped as the fire cut off the stairwell. With fire‑engine access delayed, locals fashioned a rope and, under the supervision of senior residents, lowered the three individuals to the ground safely.
Firefighters arrived shortly thereafter, contained the fire, and began extinguishing remaining hotspots. No fatalities were reported, and the rescued persons were taken for medical observation as a precaution. Authorities have opened an inquiry to determine the cause of the fire.
