South Delhi District Magistrate Lakshay Singhal said the administration received information about the fire at around 3.45 pm at a Kia showroom opposite Saket Metro Station. The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Delhi Police and Fire Department were immediately alerted, and fire tenders were rushed to the spot.
Singhal said 12 to 15 people had been rescued, including those evacuated from adjoining buildings with the help of ladders. Seven people sustained injuries, with four admitted to Max Hospital and three to Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital.
He said the fire had been extinguished and brought under control, and no deaths had been reported so far. However, officials were continuing to search the entire building to ensure that nobody remained trapped inside.
Singhal added that a short circuit was suspected to have caused the fire, although the cause had not yet been conclusively established.
Authorities are examining the premises as part of the ongoing search and assessment. Officials are also checking whether anyone else was inside the building when the fire broke out.
