Preliminary investigation revealed that the fire appeared suspicious in nature, with no signs of accidental ignition reported so far. Officials are examining the room for traces of accelerants or forced entry, which could indicate deliberate foul play.
Neighbours reported hearing commotion earlier in the day, but nobody suspected it would escalate into such a tragic incident. Some residents also mentioned that Sunny had received threats in the past, given his criminal history, which police are now exploring as a possible motive.
The police have sealed the room and are collecting fingerprints, CCTV footage from the building, and statements from nearby shopkeepers and residents to reconstruct the events leading up to the fire.
Authorities have urged anyone with information about Sunny’s movements or suspicious activity in the area to come forward. They are also investigating potential links to his previous criminal cases to determine if the fire could be retaliatory in nature.
Further updates are expected once the postmortem report is received, which will confirm the exact cause of death and indicate whether the victim suffered injuries before the fire broke out.
