Explosion Rocks Rewari House, Four Injured
A powerful explosion ripped through a house in Rewari's Hans Nagar on Sunday evening, leaving four members of a family injured and extensively damaging the building. The blast occurred while 28-year-old Tanu was ironing clothes, causing severe burns that left her in critical condition. She was preparing for her wedding scheduled later this year.
The explosion was so intense that windowpanes shattered, doors were blown off their hinges, and neighbors rushed out of their homes after hearing what they described as a sound resembling a bomb blast. Police and forensic teams are investigating the incident, but the cause remains unclear.
Victims and Injuries
The most seriously injured victim, Tanu, suffered severe burn injuries and was referred to PGI Rohtak for treatment. Three others were also injured: Tanu's father Satbir, her relative's two-year-old daughter Khushi, and Rohit's father Jay Bhagwan, a CRPF personnel. Satbir was shifted to a hospital in Gurugram, while Jay Bhagwan was admitted to an Army hospital in Delhi. Khushi and Tanu's mother Madhu reportedly suffered minor injuries.
According to Rohit, a neighbor of the affected family, Satbir Chauhan is a retired Army personnel. The family was inside the house when the explosion occurred. Rohit said Tanu was ironing clothes when there was first a sudden fire, followed shortly afterwards by a powerful explosion.
Mystery Over Cause
Family members said the refrigerator and LPG cylinder kept inside the house were found intact after the explosion, deepening the mystery over its cause. Police teams reached the spot after receiving information and began an investigation. A forensic team also inspected the house to collect evidence and determine what triggered the blast.
Neighbors said the explosion was so loud that it sounded like a bomb going off, prompting residents to gather outside the house. Tanu's uncle Sameer said the family rushed to the spot after receiving information about the explosion, but by then the injured had already been shifted to different hospitals.
Wedding Plans Disrupted
Family members said Tanu's engagement had already taken place and her wedding was scheduled for November this year. Her elder brother, who works with a company in Rewari, was not at home when the incident occurred. Police said the exact cause of the explosion would become clear only after the forensic examination and investigation are completed.
