An 11-year-old girl was killed and two others sustained injuries when an electric motorcycle charging outside a house caught fire in Madhya Pradesh’s Ratlam on Sunday, police said.<\/p>\n
The fire broke out around 2.30 am in a colony in the Industrial Area police station limits, an official said.<\/p>\n
The electric motorcycle was kept for charging outside the house of one Bhagwat Maurya when it caught fire, and the flames spread to another vehicle, said VD Joshi, the in-charge of the Industrial Area police station.<\/p>\n
He said the family went to sleep after plugging in the vehicle for charging, and they suddenly woke up to smoke billowing in the house.<\/p>\n
They called the fire brigade and managed to come out of the house, but Maurya’s granddaughter Antra Choudhary was left behind, and she died of suffocation, the official said.<\/p>\n
He said Bhagwati Maurya and Lavanya (12) were injured and are undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n
The official said Antra had come to stay at her grandfather’s house with her mother and was supposed to return home in Vadodara (Gujarat) on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway, he added.<\/p>\n
