broke out at Bengali superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee's house in the

, after smoke was visible billowing out of the kitchen.

"The fire, which originated from the kitchen, was under control in 30 minutes. Primary investigation indicates that there was perhaps a spark in the chimney, which resulted in the fire," a senior fire department officer had revealed that time.

Kolkata’s then Mayor
