Two children succumbed to burn injuries after a house was set on fire by unidentified persons in Ballabhgarh, Haryana near the National Capital early on Tuesday morning. Their parents were seriously injured.

The mother is in the ICU of the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi while the father has received burn injuries on his hand.

Children's father, Jitender, said that his house was set on fire because of a running feud.

"Four of us were sleeping and they set the house on fire. They did it to take revenge," Jitender told ANI. Further details are awaited.
