The fire broke out in Nangloi two days after two similar accidents occurred in the national capital's Patparganj industrial sector, one in a mobile godown and the other in a factory that creates packaging for soil testing kits. While there were no casualties in the mobile godown fire, a 32-year-old worker died in the industrial fire.

Veeru Balguher, the worker, was a Kaushambi resident. He'd been working at the factory for five years. Balguher, the family's primary earner, is survived by his eight-month pregnant wife and one-and-a-half-year-old kid.
