21 Killed in Massive Delhi Hotel Fire, Woman Jumps from Third Floor with Child

New Delhi, June 4, 2026: At least 21 people were killed and more than 40 others rescued after a devastating fire broke out at a hotel in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area on Wednesday morning. The incident triggered chaos as guests attempted to escape the smoke-filled building amid panic and confusion.

The fire erupted at Flourish Stay B&B, a hotel operating under Delhi government's Bed and Breakfast (B&B) scheme. Sources revealed that the establishment had permission to run only six rooms but was allegedly operating around 25 rooms, raising serious concerns over possible safety violations.

Eyewitnesses recounted horrifying moments from the tragedy. In one dramatic escape, a woman reportedly jumped from the third floor of the building with her child to save their lives as flames and smoke spread rapidly through the premises.

Authorities confirmed that among the 21 deceased, six were foreign nationals and nine were Indian citizens. The identities of six victims are yet to be confirmed. Officials are currently working to identify the bodies and notify the victims’ families.

Emergency teams rushed to the site and rescued over 40 people trapped inside the building. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined, and an investigation has been launched.

The incident has sparked concerns regarding fire safety norms and whether the hotel was operating in violation of its permitted licence capacity. Authorities are expected to carry out a detailed inquiry into the tragedy.
