&ldquo;The cause of the fire will be known after the investigation but possibility of short circuit can not be ruled out. There was shortage of water in mall because of which it took time to douse the fire. We will also check whether the fire audit had been done or not,&rdquo; said a fire officer involved in the fire fighting.
