Quick answers
Were injuries reported in the Maujpur restaurant fire?
The latest reviewed police-reported accounts said no injuries were reported. That is a dated incident snapshot, not a final clinical assessment.
What caused the restaurant fire?
Police-reported accounts located the fire in the ground-floor kitchen, but the exact cause had not been established in the reviewed reporting.
What should I do if smoke fills a restaurant?
Alert others, leave by the safest available route, avoid lifts, call 112 or 101 from a safe place and do not re-enter.
Fire in the kitchen, people at the first-floor window
A fire was reported at Udham Fish Point, a restaurant at shop No. 169 on Main Jafrabad Road in Maujpur, northeast Delhi, at about 10:34 pm on 13 October 2026. ABP Live and Delhi News Live, citing police, said the fire began in the ground-floor kitchen. Video reporting showed people leaving from a first-floor opening during the smoke and panic.
Police said restaurant staff put the fire out before it spread further. One fire tender also attended. The latest reports said no injuries or deaths had been reported. That is the police version so far. It does not mean every person present was checked by a doctor.
Still unanswered
Reports so far do not say what started the fire in the kitchen. Nor do they say what condition the equipment was in, whether the fire-safety systems worked, or how many people were inside. The cause was still under inquiry. No fire or police finding and no damage assessment had come out.
What the window footage shows
Images of people escaping through a window show why an early alarm, an exit people can use and some control of the crowd matter. They do not tell us who made which decision, whether every exit was open, or where the fire started technically. We have not assumed anyone was hurt just because people jumped. A dramatic clip is not proof of a cause.
If smoke starts in a restaurant
- At the first credible sign of smoke or fire, alert others and leave by the nearest safe exit. Do not go back for belongings or the bill.
- Do not use a lift during a fire unless emergency responders direct it.
- Staff should call 112 or 101 from a safe place and say which venue and floor it is, whether there are kitchen or gas hazards, and whether anyone may still be inside.
- People outside should leave access clear for fire engines and avoid gathering beneath windows or exits.
- Do not go back in, even after a small kitchen fire, until the operator or the competent authority has made the premises safe.

Why consequences escalated
- Police reporting identified the ground-floor kitchen as the affected area, not a final technical cause.
- The no-injury statement is a dated police snapshot, not an assumption that a window escape is harmless.
- Publisher footage documents the escape context but cannot establish responsibility or system performance.
Failures and risk multipliers
- Do not delay an escape to collect belongings, settle a bill or record video.
- Do not use a lift in a fire unless responders direct it.
- Do not block a restaurant entrance, road or window area needed by responders.
- Do not turn early reports of a kitchen fire into a confirmed equipment, gas or electrical cause.
Actions that reduce risk
- Raise the alarm and leave through the nearest safe route.
- Call 112 or 101 from a safe place; identify the restaurant, floor and known hazards.
- Keep the road and entrance clear for responders.
- Do not re-enter until competent personnel say it is safe.
