Accidental fire accident kills former CRPF soldier

Monday, March 3: An accidental fire accident has killed a former CRPF soldier in the nearby village of Tholurushettalli.

The deceased has been identified as H.A. Venkatesh (64), a resident of Tholurushettalli Junction. Petrol that was being used for gardening machinery leaked at home, which accidentally caught fire and spread in an instant.

It is said that Venkatesh, who had lost one of his legs due to gangrene, was unable to get out of the place immediately and died in the fire. Venkatesh's body was completely burnt due to the intensity of the fire and a part of the house was also burnt. The incident took place when no one else was in the house. Locals rushed to the spot after seeing thick smoke coming from the top of the house, informed the fire brigade and tried to douse the fire. Locals said that Venkatesh had died by then. The fire brigade reached the spot and doused the fire completely.

Somwarpet Circle Inspector Muddumadeva visited the spot and inspected it and a case has been registered at the Somwarpet Police Station. The forensic science laboratory staff who arrived from Madikeri conducted a funeral. The deceased is survived by his wife Savita and two daughters. The last rites of the deceased will be held on Ta. 4 (today).
