A 65-year-old man and his two minor granddaughters were charred to death after their hut caught fire in Madhya Pradesh’s Shivpuri district, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place at 11.30 pm on Saturday in Laxmipura village under Bairad police station limits, an official said. It is suspected the house caught fire from an ‘angithi’ (stove) lit for protection from the cold weather, Bairad police station in-charge Vikas Yadav said.
