Woman, son found dead, house filled with LPG

Thane: A 70-year-old woman and her son were found dead inside their flat at Kamothe on Wednesday and their residence was filled with LPG when their bodies were recovered, an official said on Wednesday. The deceased were identified as Geeta Bhushan Jaggi and her son Jitendra (45), he said.
Around 4 pm, the relatives of the victims came to meet them. The main door of the house was shut from inside and despite knocking it repeatedly, there was no response, the official of Navi Mumbai police said.
“Thereafter, the police were alerted, who along with firemen, reached the spot and broke open the door. They found that the knob of the pipe that supplied LPG at their home was kept on, due to which the gas filled the entire flat. The firemen closed the knob and later found the victims lying motionless,” he said. There were injury marks on the man’s body, sources said. The deceased man had separated from his wife 15 years ago and she resided nearby. PTI
