However, a man and a woman succumbed to their injuries.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The deceased woman has been identified as 22-year-old Sneha Srivastava, who suffered nearly 40% burn injuries. <!-- -->The identity of the deceased man, believed to be around 30 years old, is yet to be ascertained. Officials said he sustained around 80% burn injuries.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Joint commissioner of police Rajiv Mishra said the ground-plus-four building had 10 to 12 rooms on each floor that were being used as residential flats.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Following the incident, police arrested the landlord after registering an FIR at Phase-3 police station under relevant legal provisions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Residents point to safety lapses<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Residents who escaped the blaze described chaotic scenes as thick smoke engulfed the building within minutes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Arnab Singh, a resident of the second floor, said many initially believed the fire was confined to an electric scooter and would die down on its own, PTI reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>\u201cWhen smoke started billowing out, we rushed out of the building.
