Twenty-three-year-old Umang Singh's dreams went up in smoke on Tuesday when one of the labs of BARC caught fire. From a one room tenement in the slums of Jogeshwari, to the country's premier nuclear institute BARC, Umang's rise was a rapid one. His dream of getting a doctorate and working in Germany was cut short in a lab fire in BARC that killed another scholar Partha Bag also. Umang's family is now demanding an inquiry into the matter.
