The 'eviction set' of the famous television show Bigg Boss was
gutted in a massive fire in the wee hours of Friday, due to a short
circuit in the house. Before the flames rose out and people noticed the
fire, everything at the set was burnt to ashes.
Official
sources had earlier said that the entire bungalow (the house where the
contestants stay) charred down, however, they later corrected
themselves, saying that only the eviction set caught fire.
According to the security guards at the eviction set near the Bigg Boss house in Lonavla,
the fire broke out around 2:30 am and everything inside the set was
burnt. Since the show's sixth season got over about two weeks ago, there
was no one at set. There was no loss of life, but loss of property was
100%.
The security personnel informed police after they noticed
the fire, after which, fire tenders were rushed to the spot to douse the
blaze.
The eviction set is where Salman
Khan used to shoot, interact with the participants of the house and
welcome other guests in front of live audience. This was the place where
the episode was shot every Friday.
Lonavla Police Inspector Vishnu Pawar
said, "The entire set turned to ashes by 4.45 am, even though there
were fire brigades from three regions trying to douse the fire. An
industrial shed was used to create the eviction set, where the fire
broke out."
The CEO of Lonavla Municipal Corporation Ganesh Shete and Local Corporator, Bharat Harpude of BJP reached the accident spot early in the morning while the fire was being doused.
