A 76-year-old woman named Komal Sampat Ghule was found dead in her apartment in Kothrud on April 1, 2025. She’d serious burn injuries, which made the police start a big investigation to find out what happened. Her home is in Guru Ganeshnagar Society, and the way she died is very mysterious. This has raised worries about fire safety in the building where she lived.

When experts looked at her apartment, they saw that there wasn’t much fire damage. Most of her furniture and things weren’t burned, which is unusual for fire cases. They checked for common causes of fires, like electrical problems and gas leaks, but found nothing wrong.

Komal lived alone in her apartment. Her son lives in Nagpur, and her daughter is married and lives in another part of Pune. Both of her children are helping the police understand what happened before their mother died.

The police are looking closely at a pooja lamp that was in her home. They think it might’ve started the fire. They collected evidence from her apartment, like burn marks and pieces of materials, which are being tested in a lab to find out how the fire started.

The police are looking into different possibilities, including whether it was an accident or if Komal might’ve hurt herself on purpose. Since there were no usual signs of a fire, they’re using special techniques to figure out the events leading to her death.

This sad case shows how important it’s to have better safety measures for elderly people living alone. Local authorities are reviewing fire safety rules to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again. They’re also working hard to find out exactly what caused this tragic event.
