In a tragic turn of events, a 46-year-old Indian woman lost her life in a fire that broke out in her Sharjah apartment. The blaze, which authorities suggest may have started during a ritual, was contained before causing wider damage.

Emergency respondents, including Civil Defence teams and police, quickly arrived at the scene. The woman's body has been sent for autopsy, and investigations are underway to determine the definitive cause of the fire and identify any potential safety violations.

In another somber incident, a 20-year-old Indian woman allegedly ended her infant's life before taking her own in the same city. Authorities are continuing their investigations as forensic labs conduct thorough examinations.
