Fire brigade personnel reached the spot and tried to extinguish the fire. However, by then the furniture kept in the shop and many items kept in Nandlal’s house were burnt. The jewelery kept in the house also got damaged in this. After the fire incident, the road from Acra Masjid Chowk to Daily Market was made one-way. Nandlal’s house is near the Bajrangbali temple located opposite the Gurudwara on the main road of Ranchi. Many shops including Kailash Crockery next to the house narrowly escaped the fire.

It is possible that a spark of fire from somewhere touched the plastic and then after touching the thermocol, the fire spread. However, his wife and daughter-in-law have expressed apprehension that mischievous elements may have set the fire. On the other hand, the fire brigade reached near the Gurudwara, but due to the narrow lane, the fire brigade had to struggle for 20-25 minutes to reach the spot.
