Child Star Veer Sharma of 'Veer Hanuman', Brother Shaurya Die in Kota Apartment Fire - The Statesman

Preliminary investigations suggest a short circuit caused the fire that led to the deaths of two brothers, aged 10 and 15, in their apartment, police said.

  • A fire erupted in the drawing room of a fourth-floor apartment in the Deepshree building, Kota, Rajasthan, in the early hours of Sunday, the 28th of September.
  • The fire ignited while the two siblings, Veer Sharma, an 8-year-old child actor, and his older brother Shaurya, aged 16, were asleep alone inside their home.
  • Neighbours saw smoke, broke down the door, doused the flames, and rescued the unconscious boys, who were taken to a hospital but declared dead on arrival due to suffocation caused by smoke inhalation.
  • Officials suspect a short circuit triggered the fire, which gutted the drawing room without spreading to other rooms, and the family donated the boys' eyes to an eye bank per their wishes.
  • An FIR under section 194 of the BNSS Act was registered, investigations are ongoing, and the children's mortal remains were handed to their family after their mother returned from Mumbai.
