Nine people were killed and 59 injured in a major fire that broke out on Tuesday evening at Carlton Towers, a business centre housing several offices and commercial establishments.
Official sources said none of the deaths was due to the fire, but because the victims had jumped from the eight-storeyed building out of panic.
The deceased have been identified as Savitha, Benzi Kumar, Rajesh Subramanyam, Surabhi Joshi, Purohit Madan Singh, Sunil Iyer, Fayaz Pasha, Akhil Uday and Siddarth Padam.
