“This is an extremely unfortunate incident and we have taken it very seriously as safety of our residents is of utmost concern. Upon preliminary investigation, we have come to know that some negligence in repair work done by contractor in the apartment led to the incident. We are cooperating with authorities and ensuring all support,” the statement by Chintels Paradiso reads.
