Two teenage brothers were injured on Thursday night after a fire broke out inside the kitchen of their residential house in Mohalla Nitaryana, located behind GB Road near Ajmeri Gate in central Delhi. The incident, which occurred at approximately 11:25 PM, prompted a swift emergency response from local residents, police personnel, and the fire department to the scene.

The injured siblings were identified by authorities as 14-year-old Waris and his 18-year-old brother, Fareed. Both of the young occupants sustained burn injuries as a result of the sudden kitchen fire.
