Rajesh and his father are co-owners of Shiva Cosmetics. The injured are Chandan (41) and Lalit Kumar (40), both welding labours.
They have been admitted at the SGM Hospital. Preliminary probe reveals that the fire broke out owing to suspected electrical short circuit. Due to inflammable substances present inside the unit, the fire spread rapidly.
The labourers were allegedly not given proper safety equipments, said sources. The jurisdictional police has registered a case under Sections 285, 337, and 304A of the IPC and is probing further.
