A empty apartment in the seven-storey Shantivan building at Oshiwara caught fire on Thursday afternoon. The apartment where the minor fire broke out is believed to be that of comedian Kapil Sharma. The residents of the building are now getting the entire structure vetted for any signs of a short circuit while continuing to reside in their houses.

The fire that broke out around 3 pm, was doused within half an hour of the fire brigade team arriving at the spot. It was confined to the kitchen and bedroom of the 2BHK flat. The fire department had sent out two fire engines, one quick response vehicle and two jumbo tankers to the spot after they received a call."
