'TMC-sponsored Bangla Pakkho claimed 50 deaths': Amit Malviya targets Mamata govt over Kolkata fire, demands SIT probe
A fire in Kolkata's Anandapur area on January 26 claimed three lives, including two employees of a food chain. The company stated the fire spread from a neighboring warehouse due to unauthorized cooking. The food chain offered compensation and support to the victims' families. BJP leader Amit Malviya criticized the West Bengal government's response and called for a SIT probe.
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], January 29 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Malviya has alleged that Trinamool-sponsored Bangla Pakkho had claimed on social media that 50 people died after a fire broke out at a manufacturing unit in Kolkata's Anandapur area on January 26.
Sharing an X post on Wednesday, Malviya wrote, "Trinamool-sponsored Bangla Pakkho claimed on social media that 50 people have died in the devastating fire in Anandapur."
Targeting the West Bengal government, Malviya said that Mamata Banerjee "must focus on ensuring justice and timely relief for the victims' families" instead of making insensitive remarks on Ajit Pawar's demise.
"Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, instead of making insensitive remarks on the unfortunate demise of the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, must focus on ensuring justice and timely relief for the victims' families in West Bengal," he wrote.

Calling for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe, Malviya added, "Given the abysmal track record of her administration, it would be in the interest of justice to hand over the investigation to a Supreme Court-monitored SIT to thoroughly probe the tragic incident and fix accountability. She must also explain why her minister, Sujit Bose, failed to reach the accident site for nearly 32 hours. Such negligence is unacceptable."
Meanwhile, the food chain said three people, including two of its employees, lost their lives in the same incident. They said a fire from a neighbouring warehouse spread to one of its warehouse premises in the Anandapur area in the early hours of January 26.
Sharing a post on X, the food chain said the fire broke out at around 3 am and led to a "complete burn down" of one of its warehouse premises. The company said two of its employees and one contracted security guard were killed in the incident.
"On 26th January 2026, early morning at 3 am fire from our neighbouring warehouse spread into our premises which led to a complete burn down of one of our warehouse premises at Anandpur, Kolkata. Our hearts are immersed with grief and pain for having lost 2 of our valued employees and a NIS Contracted security guard in this entire catastrophe," the company said.

The company said that the fire reportedly originated in the neighbouring warehouse due to "unauthorised cooking." "The fire that emerged from the neighbouring premises reportedly started due to unauthorised cooking at their warehouse. This fire engulfed not only our men, but our spirit too," the statement read.
Expressing condolences, the company said it had met the families of all three deceased and assured them of long-term support. "Our hearts, our minds and our prayers go out to the families of the deceased and so does our commitment to ensure the families are taken care of sufficiently for life," it said.
"Beyond statutory and government benefits which they are entitled to, our promise is: A lump-sum compensation of Rs 10,00,000 per family. A lifetime monthly salary paid every month to the bereaved. Education for the child of the family," the statement read.
The company added, "Our intentions and our actions are aligned to only one vision; we are nothing without our people and our employees remain our biggest asset." It also said it was "doing everything possible to support and cooperate with the respective administrative and government authorities in their various investigations."
Earlier on Monday, Baruipur Superintendent of Police (SP) Shubhendra Kumar said that an investigation into the incident is underway.
