Four girls burnt to death, 16 injured in cylinder blast

Four minor girls were burnt to death while sixteen others injured when a LPG cylinder burst into flames in Bihar's Rohtas district today.

"Due to leakage in domestic LPG cylinder in the house of Santosh Chaturvedi, members of the family and neighbours had came out in the open passage," Officer-in-charge of Dehri police station Sidheshwar Rajak said.

But the gas spread and soon it burst into flames killing the four girls.
