The TOI reported that the blaze was “massive” and erupted in the cafe located on Bengaluru’s Hosur Road.

It quoted a senior officer as saying that the fire broke out on the fourth floor of the cafe.

The officer also mentioned that there was an initial blast prior to the outbreak of the fire. While the exact cause of the incident was still under investigation, the official suggested that a short circuit might be a potential factor.
