Gurugram: An 80-year-old woman was burnt alive in a fire that broke out at midnight in house number 940 of Saraswati Vihar in Sector 28, Gurugram. The son tried to enter the room to save his mother who was surrounded by flames,
But the fire was so intense that he could not go inside. The elderly woman was completely burnt in front of the eyes of the family members.
Police took the body in their custody and sent it for post mortem
The son called the police control room and the fire brigade. Sector 29 police station and the fire brigade team reached the spot. As soon as the information was received, fire brigade vehicles reached the spot and brought the fire under control in about an hour.
By the time the fire was extinguished, the woman named Anjali Bakshi had turned into a skeleton. The police have taken the burnt body into custody and sent it for postmortem.
The woman’s son Shantanu Bakshi said that his mother was ill for a long time and he had installed a blower heater to protect her from the cold.
At around 12 in the night, he heard a loud sound and came out of the house. When he saw flames from the first floor, he went upstairs, but by then the fire had spread to the entire floor.
There were two LPG cylinders kept in the room, luckily the gas in the cylinders did not catch fire because the regulator was closed. Shantanu told that earlier there was a maid in the house for 24 hours, so she used to sleep with his mother, but a few days ago she left the job, after which now the new maid stays from 9 am to 7 pm. While leaving she closed the regulator of the cylinder. If the LPG cylinders had caught fire, it could have been a big accident.
