Two people died in a fire ignited due to mosquito repellent sticks at their home in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad on Saturday night. The incident took place when the family of four were sleeping.
According to officials, the victims, Arun and Vansh, lit mosquito repellent sticks in their room at 1 am and slept. Around an hour and a half later, their father, Neeraj, woke up to a massive smoke and fire coming out of his children's room. He rushed in to save them, but one of his children, Vansh, had already died. The other victim was burnt due to the fire. He was taken to the hospital, but the boy was declared dead, officials said.
The victims' parents were sleeping in another room when the incident took place, officials added.
The family lived in Ghaziabad's Prashant Vihar area.
The victims were both students - Arun was studying in Class 12, while Vansh was studying in Class 10.
According to the victims' father, there was no electricity in the area when the incident took place as electric wires were being replaced.
"There was no electricity in the area since evening. Due to this lack of air and being troubled by mosquitoes, my children lit the mosquito repellent sticks between two bricks and kept them under the bed they slept on. They were sleeping with a blanket on...there were also some clothes on the bed," he said.
He added that the neighbours helped them break into the room.
"Our neighbours filled water in buckets and tried to extinguish the fire," the victims' father said.
The bodies of the victims have been sent for postmortem which will determine whether they died due to burns or smoke inhalation.
In a miraculous incident at Bihar's Samastipur Railway Station, a man narrowly escaped death after a train passed over him.
A major accident was averted at a railway station in Bihar's Samastipur as a man slipped and fell on the railway tracks while trying to board a moving train. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
The passenger was trying to board the Bihar Sampark Kranti Express when he slipped and fell on the track, getting stuck between the train and the platform wall.
In a video, the train can be seen leaving the platform while a person can be heard asking those looking for the trapped passenger to stay away from the tracks. As the train leaves the station, a man can be seen lying next to the platform wall, with little to no injuries.
Once the man was spotted, a few people lifted him from the tracks. The train stopped after covering a short distance and the passenger was finally able to board the train and left for his destination.
This incident comes weeks after train operations at the Samastipur Junction railway station were briefly halted for nearly an hour after a fight broke out between two monkeys.
The incident took place near platform number 4 when both the monkeys were fighting over a banana. One of the monkeys threw a rubber-like object at the other, which then came in contact with an overhead wire causing a short circuit. The wire broke down and fell on the bogie of a train, halting operations at the station.
