Two Research Students Killed in Lab Fire at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) Complex in Chembur Northeast Bombay

This deadly fire at a Indian nuclear lab will probably go unreported like the Cornelius Hardy story at the Palo Verde nuclear plant in Arizona. I doubt there is any relation, but I wonder if there have been any threats on this Indian reactor complex or if there is anything suspicious aside from a fire?

Two research students were burnt alive in a fire that broke out in a building housing a chemical laboratory inside the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) complex in Chembur in north-east Mumbai Tuesday afternoon, an official said. However, the main reactor was not threatened...

Police sources said that the fire may have erupted following a suspected chemical reaction that led to a blast in the laboratory housing analytical instruments.
