Four fire engines were rushed to the spot and the blaze was doused within half an hour. Fire officials suspect that the fire was caused due to a short circuit in one of the power units at the laboratory .
A team from the local police station was also rushed to the spot along with a crime team to lift evidences. Police officers have also launched a separate probe to find out the cause of fire.
Senior officers from the university said that a probe has been initiated to find out the extent of loss. Officials said that a few copies of thesis were kept in the room where the fire broke out.
