According to the eyewitness, some young men of the area rushed to the scene and tried forcing their way in but they were not successful.
This was because they were burglar proofs all over and so they found it hard to get into the building.
Consequently, the shouts died down indicating that the occupants had burnt to ashes even before the fire service appeared on the scene.
