At least nine people were killed and 21 others were injured after two LPG cylinders exploded at a wedding function in Beawar in Rajasthan’s Ajmer district on late Friday night.
Surendra Kumar Parecha had organized wedding celebrations at Kumavat Samaj Bhavan in Beawar for his son’s wedding. The guests were staying in a double-storey building. Suddenly, there was a loud blast which brought the entire building down, along with damaging twelve neighbouring houses.
The cook was trying to refill the empty LPG cylinder from another cylinder which caused a fire and resulted in an explosion. Post-mortems are being done and the bodies are being handed over to their respective families. Investigations are going on what led to the blast.
At least 15 more people are missing. The groom’s mother is one amongst the missing.
Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje declares a compensation of Rs 2 lakhs for family of the nine people killed in a cylinder blast last night during a wedding ceremony in Beawar’s Nand Nagar in Ajmer district.
