Police reported that eight patients were quickly and safely evacuated to nearby Pushpanjali Hospital. Although Amit, and dialysis room employees Har Devi and Naresh, were rescued, Amit unfortunately succumbed to smoke inhalation. At present, the other evacuated patients and staff members are stable.
