He said Soni had called him to inform about the fire, but her phone was switched off after that. “We are moving from pillar to post to locate her,” the worried husband said.
Chaos prevailed the whole night at the Sanjay Gandhi hospital where the bodies from the incident were shifted with people pouring in to locate their loved ones.
