A FIRE at a hotel in Kolkata killed nine people, including a child, on Wednesday, marking another deadly hotel blaze in India within days as authorities investigated possible safety failures. Nine people were killed, including a child, in the fire that broke out early on Wednesday, Anuj Sharma, the fire services director of West Bengal state, told AFP. Thick smoke enveloped the hotel. Some victims were found in the bathrooms. Delhi hotel fire kills at least 21 people Preliminary information suggested an air conditioner at the budget Shika Inn hotel may have exploded and caused the fire, Sharma said. A forensic team was deployed to examine the scene after firefighters brought the blaze under control. Police said 60 guests were staying at the hotel. Media reports said six people were injured and taken to hospital for treatment. Firefighters used ladders to enter the building through windows and rescue people trapped inside. The dense smoke made it difficult for firefighters to climb the staircase and reach the upper floors, a police officer was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India news agency. Some victims were likely Bangladeshi nationals who had travelled to Kolkata for medical treatment, said Santosh Pathak, a member of West Bengal's ruling party.
