The fresh footage shows an electronic firecracker being set off during a belly dance performance. After the spark reached the bamboo-lined ceiling, it caught fire within seconds. Soon the fire spread rapidly.Notably, another video with a different angle surfaced online hours after the inferno, killing 25 people, including five tourists. In that moment, the dancer and the musician could be seen running in panic after the blaze erupted.Earlier in the day, one of the owners of the club, Saurabh Luthra, issued a public statement expressing grief as investigations widen into the alleged safety lapses and licensing violations.
