The incident was captured on a nearby CCTV camera. The night watchman attempted to chase the miscreants, but was unsuccessful.

The fire tender was called, and the fire was eventually doused, but not before the entire stock was destroyed.

Om Parkash, a relative of the shop owner, stated that the shop was built a couple of years ago, and the owners had invested their life savings in the business. He ruled out any enmity with anyone and stated that the cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
