Five members, including a kid, of a family were burnt in a gas fire at Jamgara in Ashulia, on the outskirt of the capital, on Friday morning.
The injured have been admitted to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) in a critical condition.
They are Arab Ali, 50, his wife Hasina Begum, 40, their son Abdur Rob, 30, and his wife Ripa Akhter, 25, and Ripa and Rob’s
daughter Ayesha Akhter, 2. The family came from Jibonnagar of Chuadanga.
Arab Ali has 60 percent of his body burnt, Hasina 96 percent, Rob 88 percent, Ripa Seven percent and two-year-old Ayesha 32 percent, said Sub-Inspector Bachchu Miah of DMCH Outpost citing a doctor.
“When Hasina went to the kitchen and lighted the stove, fire broke out throughout the house. The locals brought the injured to the hospital,” said Bachchu Miah citing the relatives of the injured.
Six families live in the two-storey house on the Kabarstan Road in Manikganj Para in Jamgara owned by Abdul Hamid, a local resident.
Arab Ali used to live in a room on the ground floor with his family.
The house caught fire after a blast in the morning, said Ershad Hossain, Fire Service Control Room officer.
“The house’s gas line was leaking, according to the fire service officials. The entire house was filled with gas overnight. The fire broke out when someone lighted the stove for cooking.”
