Three Indians, including two women, died while one was injured in a fire that broke out in an apartment in Kuwait's city of Abu Halifa, fire officials said on Saturday.
The fire broke out in an apartment -- occupied by six Indian -- late on Thursday night, fire department official Lt Col Abdul Aziz Malallah said.
The fire broke out due to a short circuit.
Fire fighters, on arrival, found the body of an Indian nurse on the ground, who probably fell down from the window while trying to save her life, he said.
Two more bodies -- one of 48-year-old woman and one of a man -- were found from the apartment, when firemen entered into the building after dousing the fire.
The man and the woman probably died of suffocation, Lt Col Abdul Aziz Malallah was quoted by Kuwait Times as saying.
One survivor of the fire was a 45-year-old Indian man who had escaped through a window and was able to get down to the fourth floor, he said, adding the survivor suffered a few minor burns and was taken to Babtain hospital.
