Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 46-year-old woman, who suffered burns due to a fire triggered by a gas cylinder leak at her house in Gautam Nagar, succumbed to injuries on Thursday morning. The woman’s daughter had also sustained burns while dousing off the flames and was undergoing treatment. The deceased was identified as Jyoti Shrivas, a resident of Gautam Nagar.
She was a home-maker Last Sunday, her husband Vijay, a private company employee, and Shrivas’ elder son Mohit were out of the house, while Shrivas was preparing dinner for the family, and was being assisted by her daughter Saloni, 18. She lit the stove to cook vegetables, but failed to notice that the gas cylinder had been leaking.
As soon as she turned on the stove, a massive blaze erupted, and eventually, the pipe attached to the stove also detached, owing to which the gas cylinder caught fire too. Shrivas caught fire and began screaming. Saloni rushed to her aid and doused off the flames. She then rushed Shrivas to the hospital, where Shrivas died while undergoing treatment on Thursday morning. Her body has been referred for post-mortem, the police said.
