The owner of the workshop, Ritik, said that the fire broke out late at night and gutted 10-12 cars that were parked nearby.

The exact cause of the flames is yet to be ascertained as the police are carrying out an investigation regarding the same.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported in the incident, the police said in a statement.

A massive fire broke out on Tuesday at a commercial complex in Central Delhi’s Jhandewalan, gutting the entire four-floor building and several cars parked below.

This was the second incident of fire in Delhi in a day as a distress call about a blaze in a slum cluster in New Seelampur was received by the DFS, which rushed seven fire tenders to the area.

DFS officials said the fire in two shanties was doused, and there were no reports of any injuries or casualties.
