Kolkata, March 27: Two more charred bodies were recovered today from the fire-ravaged Stephen Court building on Park street, pushing the toll in Tuesday’s blaze to 32.
The two bodies were found on the fifth floor during clearing of rubble from where a stench was coming, Joint Commissioner of Police (Hq) Jawed Shamim told PTI.
He said the shrunken bodies were immediately removed by civic workers and sent to hospital for post-mortem.
Shamim said firemen were looking for four others missing in the fire.
According to firemen, more bodies could be lying under the debris as a foul smell was coming from some portions.
Locals also believe the toll might go up since the fire broke out during the peak hour when there were visitors in the offices in the affected portion of the building
