Two people succumbed to their burn injuries from a gas stove fire in Dhaka’s Keraniganj, taking the death toll in the incident to three. Shahadat Hossain, 20, and his maternal grandmother Mosammat Begum, 60, died at the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery on Friday afternoon. Resident Physician Ayub Hossain said 52 per cent of Shahadat’s body and 23 percent of Begum’s were burnt, reports bdnews24.com. Begum’s 8-year-old granddaughter Mariam Akhter died at the hospital the same day. An official at the Fire Service control room said firefighters had little to do once they arrived at the scene as locals had already rescued the victims and sent them to hospital.
