Eight members of a family lost their lives after a short circuit at an EV car charging point triggered the explosion of over ten gas cylinders kept inside the house in Indore.
Initial investigations suggest that more than ten gas cylinders were kept inside the residence, and their explosions further worsened the fire.
Officials also found that the house had electronic door locks installed. When the power supply was cut off during the fire, the locks failed to open, trapping several people inside until rescue teams broke the doors.
Fire brigade teams, police personnel and local residents rushed to the spot and carried out rescue operations for several hours before bringing the fire under control.
Yadav expressed deep grief over the loss of lives and said the government stands firmly with the affected families during this difficult time.
