  "account": "In Bakhtiyarpur, a small town near Patna, India, a tragic fire broke out at a motorcycle parts shop, resulting in the deaths of a six-month-old girl, her grandmother, and maternal aunt. Sub-Divisional Police Officer Abhishek Srivastava informed that three people were rescued from the scene and later pronounced dead at the hospital. Three others were successfully rescued from the burning building. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown, although some speculate it may have started during a Havan ritual.\n\nThe parents of the six-month-old survivor, Moni Kumari and Shivam Kumar, managed to escape the fire by jumping from the roof of their home and landed safely on the ground. However, Moni Kumari suffered a fractured leg in the process. Both parents were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.\n\nThe fire rapidly engulfed the motorcycle parts shop and the adjacent house, leaving those inside with little time to evacuate. The tragedy occurred on a Saturday evening, around 50 km from Patna, Bihar's capital. The family of the shop owner, Pankaj Kumar, lived in the house behind the shop. As flames intensified, the occupants of the house had minimal opportunity to escape before the fire consumed the entire building.\n\nReema Devi, the mother of the three victims and wife of shop owner Pankaj Kumar, was 45 years old, while Geeta Devi, the 70-year-old mother-in-law of the victim, was his mother. Both were found dead at the scene. The six-month-old victim, Sundari Kumari, was the daughter of Reema Devi and Pankaj Kumar. The young girl had traveled to Bakhtiyarpur with her parents.",
