The fire broke out while refilling refrigerant gas in a vehicle opposite a garage, the officials said.
According to preliminary information, the leakage of refrigerant gas from a compressor while refilling it in a vehicle triggered the blaze, which burned the electric wiring and other parts of the vehicle. A fire brigade official said a parked bike was also damaged.
The deceased man was identified as Saddam Hussain. One Sanjog Morya received 80 to 90 per cent burn injuries, leaving him in a critical condition, as per the PTI.
