Earlier on July 20, seven people had died of burn injuries after leakage of gas from an LPG cylinder triggered fire and explosion inside a room on the outskirts of Gujarat’s Ahmedabad city. The victims – labourers and their family members – died during treatment, the police had informed.
The deceased also included children and women, the cop added.
“Some labourers working in a factory and their family members were sleeping in a small room when gas from their LPG cylinder started leaking on the night of July 20. When their neighbour knocked on their door to alert them, a labourer got up and switched on the light, which caused an explosion due to concentration of gas,” the officer said.
