Updated: 2019–06–03
JALPAIGURI: Fire gutted a PWD inspection bungalow at Lataguri, killing a 29-year-old youth, Subhadeep Das, in the wee hours of Sunday. A short circuit is suspected to have caused the fire that engulfed the building before the arrival of two fire tenders from Malbazar and Maynaguri.
Das, a resident of Siliguri’s Hakim Para, and one of his friends were inside the bungalow during the incident. The other person has sustained serious burns and is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Malbazar. It being a Sunday, PWD officials couldn’t verify whether Das had officially booked a room there.
