One person has died in the fire that rages at a residential building in Mumbai. 

The man, likely a resident of the 19th floor which was on fire, was seen in a video holding on to a ledge of the balcony in a desperate attempt to save his life.

However, he lost his grip and fell to his death. The man, in his thirties, was brought dead to hospital. 

A fire broke out in a 61-storey residential building in central Mumbai's Currey Road, a fire brigade official said. 

The fire erupted on the 19th floor of the high-end One Avighna Park building shortly before noon, the official said. 

The cause of the fire is not yet known, he said. At least 12 fire engines and water tankers have reached the spot, the official said.
