Jaipur:<\/strong> The untimely death of five members of a family in the fire that ravaged a house in Vidhyadhar Nagar Sector \u2013 9 of Jaipur<\/a> has left the city shocked.<\/p>\n

Four of them were young people who were looking forward to great careers. At this stage in their lives, all they thought about was to achieve their dreams and make it big in life, but destiny had something horrible in store for them.<\/p>\n

Sanjeev Garg who owns an iron wire factory near Reengus and his wife were inconsolable when the couple arrived in Jaipur after attending the final rituals of an acquaintance in Agra. The mother who lost her three children in the blaze \u2013 17-year-old Animesh, 21-year-old Arpita and 23-year-old Apurva – fell unconscious many times.<\/p>\n

Animesh was a class 11 student in Delhi Public School. His schoolmates are yet to come to the terms with the tragedy.<\/p>\n

Aprita was preparing for MBA after graduating from St Xavier\u2019s College and Apruva was preparing for competitive examination. Apurva dreamed of becoming an administrative officer and serve the society and needy people, according to her relatives.<\/p>\n

Twenty-year-old Shaurya was visiting the family on Makar Sakranti. Shaurya who was son of Sanjeev\u2019s brother-in-law was an LLB student. He came to Jaipur two days ago so that he could fly kites with his cousins.<\/p>\n

Neighbors said that when they heard explosions around 4 am, they rushed out of their homes. They couldn\u2019t see anything, but the two girls – Aprita and Apurva \u2013 were shouting for help.<\/p>\n

Some neighbors even jumped into the house of the victims from the rooftop of adjoining houses, but the fire and smoke made it impossible for them to help the family members stuck inside.<\/p>\n

The one-hour delay by the fire department in getting fire tenders to the spot further worsened the situation. The local residents alleged that had the rescue teams arrived at the spot on time, Animesh and Shaurya could have been saved as they died of suffocation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were alive even when they were rushed to a private hospital. It was almost 2-3 after the fire broke out. The delay in rescue operation killed them,\u201d said Hanuman Prasad, a neighbor.<\/p>\n
