The fire, originating on the complex's fourth floor, rapidly spread to neighboring shops. A swift response by 15-17 fire tenders contained the situation, according to Harish Gadhavi, divisional fire officer of Surat South West Zone.
The cause of the inferno remains under investigation, though initial suspicions point to an electrical malfunction involving an air conditioner as the likely source.
