Two other passengers of the airline at the hotel were rushed to a hospital due to anxiety. Four other people including a hotel employee were rescued. The Fire Brigade will probe if the hotel had taken measures for fire-fighting. The five passengers were on their way to Nairobi from Ahmedabad with a connecting flight from Mumbai.
