Firefighters found that the main door of the Bank of Baroda on the ground floor of the building was locked from the outside and intense smoke with flames blowing out from it. The door was unable to unlock, therefore inaccessible to fire personnel to extinguish the blaze.
The fire department broke the window to access the locked premises and successfully brought the fire under complete control. Soon after the bank staff unlock the door, firefighters enter the premises. However, no casualties were reported in the incident. According to the bank branch manager, all the cash money was already deposited in the safe.
