A fire at a bakery in Pune left at least six people dead.

Workers sleeping inside the bakery were trapped as the door was bolted from outside, and suffocated.
“The fire wasn’t very big but since there was no outlet, the workers inside died of suffocation,”said a fire official.
The police are investigating why the workers were locked in.
