Fire at Ludhiana Building Linked to AAP Leader Kills One, Sparks Investigation
A fire broke out on Friday in a two-storey building housing Pulkit Fashion, a clothing business linked to AAP leader Goldy Sabharwal, in Ludhiana's Field Ganj area. The blaze, intensified by stored firecrackers, caused explosions and partial building collapse, killing 26-27-year-old Sahil Sabharwal, a relative of the AAP leader. Firefighters faced challenges due to narrow lanes but controlled the fire after nearly three hours. Authorities are investigating the cause and legality of firecracker storage amid safety concerns.
