The projector room, chairs and curtains of mini Jaya have been damaged, a fire official said.

On Saturday, a forensic team visited the cinema and collected samples, an officer of the Bidhannagar Commissionerate said.

As many as 15 fire tenders fought the fire that broke out at around 9.20pm on Friday, a fire official said.

According to the official, it had taken them a long time to “cool down” the hall and they had sprayed water on the surrounding buildings to check the fire from spreading.

“According to our preliminary findings, the fire possibly broke out from a stove on which Singh was cooking dinner,” said the officer.
