"Charred human remains were found on the second floor of the building during a search operation by our firefighters. But we cannot say if it is the remains of one body or several bodies. Though the fire has been doused, the cooling and search operations still continue," Mr. Garg said.
At present, two fire tenders are present at the spot, he added.
