Jajpur: A man died today days after suffering burn injuries following a domestic LPG cylinder explosion at his house in Arabal village under Dharmasala police station limits of Jajpur district. His wife and daughter had already died due to the blast.

It is to be noted here that the blast occurred at Abhiram Mallick’s house around 9 AM on October 11 while his wife Tilotama Mallick was preparing meals. While the couple’s four-year-old daughter Mamali Mallick, who was in the kitchen, died on the post, they had sustained critical injuries due to the tragic explosion.

Both Abhiram Mallick and Tilotama Mallick were initially admitted to the Dharmasala Community Health Centre (CHC) and later shifted to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Kataka as their condition worsened further.

Tilotama, however, breathed her last while undergoing treatment on October 16, while Abhiram Mallick succumbed to burn injuries today.
