Three people of a same family, including two women, died after a fire broke out in a building in Latur in Maharashtra on Thursday, while four jumped out of the second floor of the structure to save themselves, officials said, reported the PTI.

According to the news agency, the fire took place in four-storeyed 'Shivai' building near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk at 8:30 am, possibly due to a short-circuit in a flower shop on the ground floor, an official said.
