The Civil Surgeon has revoked the hospital's license.

The Civil Surgeon informed ANI that a probe is being conducted from all angles into the fire and action will be taken based on the findings.

"A technical investigation is being conducted from all angles, and further action will be taken based on the findings," she said.

The death toll in the incident rose to six after another victim died during treatment on Friday. On Thursday, five patients were killed and 17 others were injured when a fire broke out at the hospital.
