At least 21 people, including 18 foreign nationals such as Nigerians were killed in a fire at a hotel in Delhi on Wednesday, police said.
It is one of the worst such incidents in the national capital since 2022.
The dead included people from Bangladesh, Nigeria, Mozambique and Liberia, India’s television broadcaster CNN-News 18 said.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the nationalities of the victims.
Several people had jumped out of the burning building in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar to escape the flames, witnesses said, with residents dragging mattresses from a nearby store to try to break their fall.
