KOLKATA: A fire broke out at Jaya Cinema in Lake Town around 9.45pm on Friday, in which the hall caretaker and his wife suffered burns. Fifteen fire engines controlled the blaze by midnight.
Officials said the fire broke out on the top floor of Jaya II, also known as Mini Jaya. Fire minister Sujit Bose said the hall’s caretaker and his wife were cooking in their room on the top floor when the blaze started.
“The fire seemed to start while the woman was cooking. Both suffered burns. The woman had to be taken to hospital,” said Bose. An officer demanded a probe to find the exact reason. Another officer said Jaya II’s projector room was burnt and the damage was yet to be assessed.
