According to police officials, six persons died from asphyxia and two others were injured after a fire broke out at a residence on Mazar Wala Road, Machhi Market, Shastri Park on Friday. When police arrived on the scene, they discovered that the injured had been transferred to Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital.
“Six people in a family were found dead in their house in the Shastri Park area after they inhaled carbon monoxide produced from the burning Mosquito coil that had fallen over a mattress sometime during the night. The toxic fumes caused inmates to lose consciousness and later died due to suffocation,” said DCP North East district Joy Tirkey.
The injured are being treated for burn injuries, according to the DCP.
“The deceased include four adult males, an adult female, and a half-year-old child. The injured include a 15-year-old girl and an adult male,” said Joy Tirkey.
