According to reports, nearly 30 fire tenders were rushed to the spot near Shri Ram Chowk, located close to the&nbsp;Palam Metro station. In a desperate attempt to escape the flames, three others were injured, two of whom jumped from the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The deceased include family head Rajendra&#8217;s wife, Lado (70), her first and third sons, identified as Kamal (39) &amp; Parvesh (33), and their daughter, Himanshi (22).
