Pawan Kalyan is set to travel to Singapore on Tuesday and informed the media that his son, Mark Shankar, suffered burns on his hands and legs.
"I have been told that he is reasonably well, but right now they are performing a bronchoscopy. The final report will be available on Wednesday morning. Hopefully, everything will turn out fine," he stated.
The actor-politician revealed that the fire occurred during a summer camp attended by 30 children, resulting in one child's death and injuries to 15 others. He extended his condolences to the family of Mark Shankar's classmate who tragically lost their life in the blaze.
The Jana Sena leader expressed gratitude towards the construction workers near the summer camp who helped rescue the children before the fire services arrived.
Pawan Kalyan mentioned receiving a phone call at approximately 7:30 a.m. regarding the incident while he was visiting Araku.
