Madhya Pradesh: At least three minors, including two girls, were charred to death after a fire broke out in a house in Madhya Pradesh's Bhind district on Saturday. According to police, four others were reported injured, two of them are critical. The fire started due to leakage of liquified petroleum gas (LPG) during cooking, police suspected. 

Sub Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) Rajesh Rathore informed that the incident occurred at Danekapura village under Gormi police station limits. 

Children charred to death 

"A 4-year-old boy, his sister, aged 10 years, and their 5-year-old cousin sister were charred to death in the fire", he said.

The house owner, Akhilesh Rajput, and his wife suffered serious injuries, he said. They have been referred to Gwalior for treatment. The deceased were grandchildren of the house owner.
