DHANGHADI: A 20-year-old woman and her 40-day-old toddler were killed in a fire that erupted in their own room in Narayanpur-1 last night.
Janaki Chaudhary (20), and her infant daughter Grishma Chaudhary, were killed after the room caught fire at around 12 am.
Police’s preliminary investigations have identified the cause of fire as diesel leakage from a pump set kept in the room.
After noticing the fire, the flatmates had tried to douse the inferno and rescue the mother-daughter duo alive, but all in vain, DSP Nawaraj Rawal, In-charge at the Area Police Office, Kailai briefed the media.
Janaki’s husband Ganesh Chaudhary, however, survived the blaze. He has been wheeled into Tikapur Hospital for the treatment, police said.
