Six people were injured after a fire broke out early on Monday morning at a restaurant in the INA market in south Delhi which also engulfed two adjacent fast food joints.

Officials said a call about the blaze was received at 3.18 am and seven fire tenders were pressed into service, PTI reported.

They took about two hours to douse the fire, a Delhi Fire Service (DFS) official said.

Some restaurant workers sleeping inside got injured in the fire that also gutted two adjacent fast food joints, he said. The official added that two injured were admitted to the AIIMS while four others were at the Safdarjung Hospital.

A short circuit is suspected to have caused the fire, he said, adding further probe is underway.
