Patna,(BiharTimes): A couple was charred to death in the state capital in the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday. The incident took place in Road No 31 of Gardanibagh locality. They were identified as Sujit Kumar (25) and his wife Poonam Devi (21). |
They were roasted alive after their hut caught fire when a burning earthen lamp fell. Three adjoining huts also caught fire. However, others managed to escape.
The residents blocked the Chitkohra-Anisabad main road at Chitkohra road overbridge under the Gardanibagh police station on Sunday demanding compensation to the family members of the deceased.
According to Gardanibagh police station SHO Nityanand Shukla the blockade was later lifted after officials of the Patna district administration reached the spot and provided compensation. He, however, claimed that fire broke out due to short circuit.
