Five employees sleeping inside a bar and restaurant in the busy and congested Kalasipalyam area of Karnataka’s Bengaluru were killed in a fire that broke early on Monday, officials said. Fire brigade personnel retrieved the charred bodies of the victims after dousing the fire by 4am. The mayor said it was a complete violation of rules to allow the workers to reside on the premises. He was referring to the fire at a restaurant that sparked a deadly blaze in Mumbai’s Kamala Mills area, killing 14 people on December 29 last year. According to him, the labourers had worked out a deal with the owner to live inside the Kailash Bar and Restaurant.
