Sangeeta and her five children got trapped inside the house when fire broke out while they were sleeping. After getting information about the incident, a fire brigade team reached the spot, doused the flames and pulled out the six family members who had already died, police said.
It is suspected that Sangita and her five children went to sleep without properly dousing the fire in the ‘chulha’ which might have caused the tragic incident, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
