Mumbai: Fourteen patients had a narrow escape when a fire broke out in a Mulund (West) nursing home before dawn on Thursday, but a young doctor could not be saved.
The blaze at Gokul Nursing Home, spread across the first floors of two adjoining buildings connected by a walkway, completely gutted the outpatient area, where Dr Rahul Rudrawar (27) from Beed was sleeping after duty. The flames could not cross into the wards and ICU across the narrow walkway, allowing relatives and staff enough time to take the patients out.
The owner claimed fire safety norms had not been violated. Many patients said they would have died if the rear exit had not been there.
