A five-year-old boy was allegedly charred to death after a fire broke out at his residence due to an alleged cylinder leak in southeast Delhi’s Tughlaqabad Extension area on Monday. However, police said that they are waiting for post-mortem report to ascertain whether the child was burned to death or died of asphyxia and sustained burns later.
The deceased, identified as Ashu Ali, lived with his parents on the third floor of a four-storey building in Tughlaqabad Extension area.
