Restaurant owner and son killed in LPG cylinder explosion in Bhagalpur

A restaurant owner and his son died in an LPG cylinder explosion in Bhagalpur early Monday. They were responding to a fire at their restaurant when opening the iron shutter triggered a powerful blast, reportedly caused by stored LPG cylinders. The explosion occurred around 5 a.m. in the Kharmanchak area, throwing the victims over 20 feet. Preliminary police investigations suggest a possible gas leak combined with an electrical short-circuit may have led to the fire and explosion. Emergency services extinguished the flames, and a case has been registered. Local authorities are questioning witnesses to gather more information about the incident.
