A devastating fire in Indore claimed the life of an 11-year-old boy and left five family members injured when a short circuit ignited flammable scrap materials stored in a three-story residence. The narrow building's single entrance and lack of ventilation contributed to severe smoke accumulation, causing suffocation despite no burn injuries. Four survivors remain on life support as authorities investigate the incident.
