Three killed in explosion followed by fire in Paris apartment building
Nevertheless, despite the building's residents' denials, the authorities have not ruled out the gas trail.
A French court has ordered that Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat be evicted from an apartment in a posh part of Paris for failing to keep up with the rent.
In a December 14 ruling seen , the court told Sherawat and her French husband Cyrille Auxenfans to pay 78,787 euros (USD 94,000) in rent owed and expenses, giving the green light for their furniture to be seized.
The couple began renting the apartment in the pricey 16th district on January 1, 2017, for a monthly sum of 6,054 euros.

But according to the owner they never paid the rent, making only a single payment of 2,715 euros.
At a hearing in a Paris court on November 14, a lawyer for the couple said they were in financial difficulty.
The lawyer emphasised the “irregular” nature of Sherawat’s work — an argument dismissed by the owners of the apartment who claimed she had earned tens of millions during the rental period.
Neither Sherawat nor Auxenfans replied to AFP’s request for comment.
In mid-December the actress had denied having a Paris apartment.
