Hyderabad: A purported phone conversation of a man who died in the recent fire at the Batcha furniture showroom, pleading for help as the blaze broke out, surfaced on Friday, January 30.
In the audio, Imtiyaz, a driver associated with the showroom, was heard telling someone outside that he was unable to escape the fire.
“All three of us, including two children, will die. There is no exit here,” a distressed Imtiyaz said, seeking rescue.
On the day of the fire, Imtiaz and others were trapped in one of the cellars of the building as the flames raged.
While the person on the other end advised him to move to the second cellar to escape, Imtiyaz said he could not find a way out. The sounds of children gasping for breath can also be heard in the recording.
When contacted by PTI, a police official said the audio had come to their notice, but its authenticity needs to be verified.
