Two Nepali nationals were killed in an incident triggered by cooking gas leakage in the Indian metropolis of Bangalore. Three others have been injured.

Bajhang local Madan Bohara, his wife Premjala, and their three children had sustained burn injuries in the tragic incident that occurred in Yelankha at around 11 pm on Wednesday.

Bohara’s four-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter died in the course of treatment at the Victoria Hospital on Thursday and Friday respectively.

“Madan has been seriously injured. His 11-year-old daughter is also in a critical condition according to the doctors,” said Jamuna Paudel, who has been taking care of the injured.

According to the doctors, Premjala has sustained 72 percent burn injuries while the 11-year-old girl has suffered 47 percent burns to her body.

The incident occurred due to a gas leak in the enclosed room, the victims said.

Bohara had migrated to India with his family some six years ago for a better lifestyle.

The 32-year-old has been working as a security guard at an apartment while his wife works as domestic help.
