Naresh Puttapaka, 26, who rescued Shahid, said, "I saw the smoke coming out and I informed others. We ran with buckets of water to douse it. Along with other locals, I went inside to see if there was anyone caught inside, but I was shocked to see that a young boy was tied with a rope was burning. I immediately covered him with a blanket."
NT Rode, senior police inspector, said, "We went to the spot and have questioned the nearby slum dwellers. In primary investigation, we found that the boy is from Mumbai and that the tenants had vacated the room a night earlier. We are investigating and we will take the statement of the boy and will register a case."
