Guwahati (Assam), Aug 22, 2018:

A pall of gloom descended over Assam’s textile town Sualkuchi following the death of three members of a family in a blazing inferno that engulfed their house at Sualkuchi late on Tuesday evening.

According to reports, Lohit Kakoti, his wife Anupama, two daughters Kabita Mahanta and Juri Kakoti and their two minor sons Mayuk and Shaan received severe burn injuries when a massive fire engulfed their building – Achyut Plaza on Sualkuchi’s SM Road.

The six persons were rushed to Nemcare Hospital here, where Lohit, his daughter Kabita Mahanta and her minor son Mayuk Deb Mahanta were declared brought dead.

Anupama, Juri Kakoti and her son are still in critical condition as they too suffered severe burn injuries.

Electric short circuit is suspected to be the reason behind the incident.
