Udit Nayaran's apartment in Mumbai catches fire, one life lost: Report

A fire broke out on Monday night at the apartment in Mumbai where veteran singer Udit Narayan resides. The incident occurred around 9:15 PM, with flames visibly engulfing parts of the building.

Skypan Apartments in Shastri Nagar, Andheri West caught dire on January 6. Firefighters promptly arrived at the scene, evacuated the residents, and worked efficiently to bring the situation under control.

Disturbing visuals from the incident show dense black smoke billowing from the building as flames engulfed two rooms of the apartment, leaving behind a harrowing aftermath.

According to a report by Vickey Lalwani, the fire at Skypan Apartments resulted in a tragic loss of life. Rahul Mishra, a 75-year-old resident of the 11th floor in the adjacent wing of the building where Udit Narayan lives, lost his life in the incident. Mishra was rushed to Kokilaben Hospital nearby but was declared ‘brought dead’ after succumbing to asphyxiation caused by smoke inhalation. His relative, Raunak Mishra, who was also present in the flat at the time, sustained severe injuries.

The Mumbai Fire Brigade Headquarters in Byculla confirmed the death of Rahul Mishra to Lalwani, stating that the tragedy is believed to have been caused by a malfunction in electrical equipment within Mishra’s apartment.
