Two cops rescue man, two children from burning building in Malviya Nagar

Upon reaching the spot, the duo noticed that the entire building was filled with smoke and the flames on the third floor were high. The front portion of the flat was engulfed in flames, said police.

The two policemen helped in vacating the building while fire tenders began to douse the blaze. In the meantime, the cops were notified that two children — aged four and seven — and a man were still trapped on the third floor.
