A 31-year-old man was charred to death in a devastating fire that broke out overnight in the Binner area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
Locals told The Kashmiriyat that the fire erupted in a residential house around 4 a.m. on Friday. The flames quickly engulfed the structure, leaving little time for those inside to escape.
“Flames emerged from the house at around 4 a.m. on Friday,” a local resident said.
Tragically, one person, identified as Zubair Ahmad Siraj, son of Ghulam Mohammad Siraj, a resident of Binner, Baramulla, was unable to make it out. Zubair, who was physically disabled, got trapped inside and succumbed to the blaze.
“Zubair Ahmad Siraj, who was physically disabled, could not make it out of the house,” another local said.
The fire completely gutted the house, reducing it to ashes before it could be brought under control. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.
