At least 19 students, including 16 girls, died after a fire ripped through a private art coaching centre on the third floor of an illegally constructed commercial complex in Sarthana area of Surat. The students, mostly in their teens, were attending classes at Smart Design Studio on the third floor when the fire broke out because of short-circuit in one of the AC ducts. About a dozen students jumped off the third and fourth floors to escape the blaze, but three of them fell to death.
