Gas leak fire injures six family members in Bengaluru's Nayandahalli

Six members of a family, including four children, were injured when an LPG cylinder leak triggered a fire and explosion at their rented house in Bengaluru's Nayandahalli on Friday morning. The injured are Karilingappa, 50, his wife Lakshmamma, 43, and their four children, aged 11, 9, and three-year-old twins. Lakshmamma and one child are in critical condition. The incident occurred around 6 am when Lakshmamma tried to light the stove. Karilingappa, a daily-wage labourer from Raichur, had moved to Bengaluru with his family for work. Police are investigating whether the leak came from the cylinder, stove, or connecting pipe, and are examining the cylinder's condition.
