It has emerged during preliminary investigations that research scholars Partha Bag (27) and Umang Singh (27), who died in a massive explosion on the third floor of the BARC modular lab on Tuesday morning, had not been handling any inflammable material.
Preliminary inquires conducted by the police reveal that the door and all windows of the 20 by 15 feet laboratory were shut when the fire broke out.
One of the two is believed to have attempted to run towards the exit in flames, but collapsed halfway and was charred to death.
