KOLKATA: A 66-year-old man was reportedly charred to death in his room around 5.15am on Friday. The incident was reported from the B-block of Nandankanan in Santoshpur.
The victim, Pradip Roy, a retired central government employee, had been asleep in his room alone on the first floor of a three-storey building.
Two other family members of Roy, who were sleeping in other rooms, got a burning smell and rushed to his room. \u201cThough the victim got up, his room was already in flames. He could not save himself. We suspect that a short circuit might have caused the inferno. But we also found a cylinder leaking. We are trying to ascertain the cause behind the fire,\u201d said a police officer. The victim was rushed to Baghajatin State General Hospital where he was declared dead. A case has been registered at the Survey Park police station in this regard. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
