The blaze, which began around 9-9:30 pm, quickly spread through the multi-story commercial building, trapping employees inside. The victim identified as Rachit Patel from Rajkot, managed to jump from an upper floor in an effort to escape the inferno but succumbed to his injuries during treatment. Initial reports suggest a short circuit, possibly involving electrical wiring or a cable duct, may have sparked the fire. Thick smoke filled the premises, making escape difficult and forcing employees to climb down from windows and ledges. A total of around 40 people were present inside the building when the fire broke out. While some managed to flee on their own, others sought help from bystanders gathered outside. Firefighters, including Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Services, launched a rescue operation using ladders and snorkels, bringing the blaze under control after an hour-long operation. The police registered an Accidental Death case and initiated an investigation into the incident.

The exact cause of the blaze remains under investigation, with authorities examining the building's fire safety arrangements and potential electrical issues.",
