NEW DELHI (AP) — A fire tore through a makeshift tent at a gathering of thousands of eunuchs in the Indian capital, killing 15 people and injuring at least 36 others, police said.
Emergency workers said Sunday's blaze was most likely caused by an electrical short and quickly spread through the tent, which was about 100 feet (30 meters) long.
The tragedy struck at a prayer ceremony and feast celebrated by the marginalized community.
