HYDERABAD: A 22-year-old man died in a fire accident at a bar & restaurant in Karmanghat in the wee hours of Thursday.

He reportedly requested Sunil Reddy to take him back and the latter asked him to join duty as a waiter from Thursday.
However, since he had nowhere to go, he slept in the store room after requesting Sunil Reddy.At about 1 am, the security guard of the bar noticed fire in the store room and opened the shutter. "By the time the shutter was opened, the entire room was engulfed in fire. A fire tender was called, but by then Srinu was charred beyond recognition," Saroornagar SI M Sri Hari said. Police suspect that the cause of the fire could be an electric short circuit.
Police are yet to gather details about his family. A suspicious death case was registered under section 174 of CrPC.
