Two British citizens—a 42-year-old doctor and her six-year-old son—died after a fire broke out in a first-floor flat in the building in which they were temporarily staying in Kandivli West. The deceased, Dr Glory Valthaty—one of the three sisters of cricketer Paul Valthaty—and Joshua James Roberts, were on the fourth floor of the Pavan Dham Veena Santoor building at Mahavir Nagar at the time of the incident. The blaze did not spread beyond the first floor, and the victims succumbed to injuries after venturing out of their flat. Three women were hospitalised after sustaining serious injuries.

Rajeshwari Bhartare—Dr Glory’s mother’s 24-year-old caregiver—and a domestic worker Lakshmi Bura, 40, sustained 90 per cent and 45-50 per cent burn injuries respectively while a 76-year-old resident, Ranjan Shah, suffered 45 to 50 per cent burn injuries and was admitted to a private hospital.
