The fire started in an electronics and steel shop on the ground floor of a building. The blaze is believed to have been caused by an electrical short circuit, though firefighters are still digging into the exact cause. The building was also home to the shop owner and his family on the upper floors. Vishnu Pandurang Joshi, 47, his wife Sunanda, 42, their pregnant daughter Priyanka Yogesh Ingale, 25, and granddaughter Srushti, just 2 years old, all died in the smoke-filled disaster.
