A fire broke out in the residence of former Union Minister Ramvilas Paswan in New Delhi on Friday afternoon, in which two cars, including an Audi, were gutted.
The blaze was reported from the garage in 12 Janpath residence of Paswan around 3:15 pm and three fire tenders were rushed to the spot to douse the flames, fire brigade officials said. They said the fire broke out in the fibre sheet apparently due to a short circuit. Two cars -- an Audi and a Honda Accord -- were gutted in the incident but no one was injured. The LJP chief was in Patna when the incident took place.
Last year on May 13, a fire broke out in the same house due to a short circuit in which several household items, including cupboards, antique statues, sofa sets and chairs were destroyed. PTI
