An air conditioner explosion in Green Field Colony led to the deaths of a couple, their daughter, and their pet dog early on Monday morning, police reported.
Authorities suspect that the explosion was triggered by a short-circuit in the AC unit, igniting a deadly fire. The family's son narrowly escaped the tragedy by leaping from the balcony, sustaining leg fractures, and he is currently receiving medical treatment.
The incident took place at 3:30 a.m. while the family slept on the second floor of their rented four-story residence. Escape attempts were thwarted by a locked roof door, leading to the tragic suffocation of the family. Emergency teams arrived swiftly to control the blaze and transported the victims to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
