A Bangladeshi woman has succumbed to her injuries in hospital following a catastrophic hotel fire in the Malviya Nagar sector of South New Delhi, India. The victim passed away whilst receiving medical treatment on Wednesday, 10 June. Authorities confirmed that her death has raised the total number of fatalities from the incident to 23.

Incident Background and Casualties

The blaze occurred on 4 June at the “Flourish Stage Bed and Breakfast” hotel, located in the Hauz Rani area of Malviya Nagar. The fire spread rapidly through the premises, resulting in the immediate deaths of 21 individuals at the scene.
