Girl charred to death, mother killed as part of their house catches fire
Hindustan TimesA day after returning from a trip to Gujarat, a 19-year-old girl was allegedly charred to death while her mother sustained severe burn injuries and died during the course of treatment after a part of their house caught fire from a short circuit at New Amanpura in Sector-5, Gurugram, on Saturday evening, said police on Sunday. Police said neighbours and fire officers were somehow able to rescue Sunita by pulling her out to safety but they could not reach her daughter Himanshi. Ranbir Singh, Pal’s elder brother who rushed to the spot after receiving information about the fire, said Himanshi was working in a large hall, which was covered with a tin shed and sheltered cattle, when the fire broke out. “Sunita rushed inside to save Himanshi but as soon as she entered, burning plyboards and other debris fell on her and she was buried beneath them,” said Singh.
