Two Killed and Several Injured in Fire at Mysuru Resto-PubPreviousNext

A fire broke out on Monday at Fox Den, a two-storey resto-pub in Mysuru's Dattagalli area, killing two staff members—Sahin, 26, from Darjeeling, and Prakash, 24, from Nepal—and injuring between five and eleven others. The blaze, suspected to have been caused by a short circuit, spread rapidly due to flammable materials like wood and decorative fixtures. Firefighters rescued around 15 people, and injured individuals were hospitalized. Authorities are investigating the exact cause and compliance with safety regulations.
