Aurangabad, January 19

A 16-month-old boy died and seven members of his family sustained severe burn injuries in a fire at their home in Maharashtra's Aurangabad district Friday night, police said.

The incident happened in Shevda village in Karmad police station limits, an official said on Saturday.

"Javed Wahed Baig's house caught fire due to what seems like a short circuit. Eight members of the family, including five children, suffered severe burns. Of them, Noor Baig, 16 months old, succumbed to injuries in the Government Medical College and Hospital here," a Karmad police station official said.

The others are undergoing treatment at the GMCH, he added. — PTI
