Four members of a policeman’s family, including the constable, in Khulna have burnt in a fire caused by a leak in the pipeline of a cooking gas cylinder.
The accident took place at the city’s Mujgunni on Saturday morning, said Khalishpur police OC Md Anwar Hossain.
The victims, Constable Atiar Rahman, his wife and their two children, have been admitted to Khulna Medical College Hospital.
Rahman is a driver posted at the metropolitan’s Khalishpur Police Station.
OC Hossain said the fire started when Rahman’s wife was cooking. Her clothes caught the fire first and spread to his husband’s attire when he tried to douse the flames.
Their children too sustained burns when they tried to save their parents.
Neighbours had rushed in hearing their screams for help and then took them to the hospital, Anwar Hossain added.
