According to police, the fire was so intense that the body recovered from the spot has been reduced to a skeletal form, making identification impossible at this stage.

Fire brigade teams, with around half a dozen fire tenders and water tankers, managed to bring the blaze under control after a long and difficult operation. 

At the time of the incident, staff members and a welder were present at the location. Visitors, including children, fled the scene to save their lives.

Deceased's identity remains unclear

Initially, after extinguishing the fire, the fire department had stated that there was no loss of life. However, during a late-night search operation conducted by police, a burnt human skeleton was discovered at the site.

Following the discovery, senior police officials and the forensic science team reached the spot and began an investigation. 

After completing legal formalities, the remains were sent to the medical college for post-mortem.

Officials said that a DNA test will be conducted after the post-mortem to establish the identity of the deceased.
