Six members of an Indore family lost their lives in a devastating fire that broke out at their home in Madhya Pradesh. The blaze, which is suspected to have originated from an electric car being charged outside, quickly spread through the two-storey residence, claiming the lives of Manoj Pugaliya, 65, Vijay Sethiya, 63, Suman, 60, Simran, 30, Chotu Sethiya, 22, and a 12-year-old child.
Police commissioner Santosh Singh said the family may have been asleep when the fire engulfed the house, and the electric lock had shut down, leaving the doors locked. The fire also involved 15 LPG cylinders and chemicals, with at least four cylinders blasting in the fire.
Three people who suffered burn injuries were rushed to Indore’s Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital. The exact cause of the fire will be determined after a forensic examination.
