| Man roasted alive in Poonch fire | | | JAMMU: An inebriated man was roasted alive in a fire that broke out in his house at Guru Niwas Mohalla in the heart of Poonch town in the wee hours of this morning.
Official sources said a police patrol saw flames emanating from the window of the house of Sanjeev Kumar (52), son of Ram Murti Kapoor, at Guru Niwas Mohalla at about 4.30 am. The flames also spread to the adjoining house of Ghulam Rasool Qazi.
Finding themselves helpless to control the fire, the cops called up the fire services department in the town.
Sources said three fire tenders, including one of army, were pressed into service. It took the firemen nearly two hours to extinguish the fire. The search of Sanjeev's house led the firemen to the recovery of his roasted body which was charred beyond recognition. There was no other person in the house as his wife had been living separately, the sources added. Sources said as Sanjeev often remained drunk, his wife had gone to her parents' house.
There was nobody in the Qazi's house and it had been lying vacant for the past some time. Sanjeev's roasted body was later removed by police to the mortuary of the Poonch district hospital. Sources said property worth lakhs was gutted in the fire.
The Poonch police had registered a case in this connection. |
