Sources told\u00a0 media that the arrested suspects are allegedly responsible for the fire while further investigation was underway.At least 11 people died while five others sustained burn injuries after a fire erupted inside the RJ Shopping Mall a day earlier because of a suspected short circuit, as per the officials.<\/p>\n

The fire began on the fourth floor and later engulfed other floors. The officials claimed that the deaths occurred because the building had no ventilation.<\/p>\n
