A couple and their nine-month-old son suffered burns when fire broke out due to leakage of LPG at their house in Kasturi Extension in Rajgopalnagar on Friday.
The police identified the victims as Jagadish (30), Nagarathna (25) and their baby boy. According to sources, all the three persons have suffered third-degree burns and their condition is said to be serious. The incident occurred on Friday morning when Jagadish lit the gas stove to boil milk. According to the police, though the gas hose pipe was damaged, it had not been changed. The damaged part had been covered with a cellophane tape, and that is suspected to have led to the explosion.
