At the time of the incident, Veer and Shaurya were alone on the fourth floor of their apartment. Their father, Jitendra Sharma, a faculty member at a private coaching institute, was away attending an event, while their mother, Rita, was in Mumbai. According to police, both children died from suffocation caused by thick smoke. Neighbours noticed smoke billowing from the apartment and rushed to break open the door, pulling the boys out. They were taken to a nearby hospital unconscious but were declared dead on arrival. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire may have been caused by a short circuit.
In the wake of the tragedy, the family announced the decision to donate both children’s eyes. The loss has left the community and the entertainment industry in shock and mourning
