Balagarh, March 4: A 16-year-old was burnt to death today after a fire broke out in the room he was sleeping in.

Prabhash Sinha’s father Dinabandhu suffered 50 per cent burns trying to douse the flames that could have been caused by the LPG kit fitted to their car. It was parked in the ground-floor room here in Hooghly, 80km from Calcutta.
