Several others were injured, including a young journalist named Riya, who was rushed to a nearby hospital with severe burns. "I'm still in shock," Riya said in an interview. "I was working on a story when suddenly the fire alarm went off. I didn't think much of it, but then I saw flames everywhere."
Panic set in as employees and staff rushed to exit the building, but some were unable to escape. The Mumbai Fire Brigade received a distress call at 5:45 pm, and firefighting teams rushed to the scene.
Firefighters battled the blaze for over two hours, managing to douse the flames and rescue several trapped employees. However, one person, identified as 32-year-old Sagar Kadam, a senior editor at the magazine, succumbed to his injuries.
The Jio Magazine fire sent shockwaves through the Indian media industry, with several prominent journalists and publishers expressing their condolences and support for the affected families.
As the investigation into the Jio Magazine fire continues, the media industry and the nation mourn the loss of Sagar Kadam and pray for the speedy recovery of those affected.
