Hyderabad: A massive fire broke out at Shiva Parvathi Theatre at Kukatpalli Housing Board colony in Hyderabad. The incident took place shortly after the end of the second show of Shyam Singha Roy movie at the theatre on Sunday night.
According to sources, the furniture inside the theatre was reduced to ashes, and the roof of the theatre also collapsed. However, there were no casualties because no one was present in the theatre when the part of the theatre caught in the fire.
The fire department was contacted by the security guard, who initially noticed the flames. Three fire tenders were rushed to the spot and took three hours to douse it.
According to Police, the reason for the fire disaster is suspected to be a short circuit in the main switchboard. The fire and property damage are being investigated to discover the exact cause.
Police, however, are investigating as to whether the short circuit was the cause or any conspiracy. They are reportedly inquiring into when and where the fires started and at what time the information was provided. "Although there were firefighters nearby, why was there a huge fire accident?" Police inquired.
In December, a fire broke out in the Gemini Theatre in Warangal, where the film Akhanda was being played. While the audience was enjoying the movie, the theatre within no time was filled with smoke. The terrified audience bolted. After receiving the information, firefighters were able to put the fire out. It was suspected that a short circuit caused the fire in the theatre.
