Baby burned to death
A two-month-old was burnt to death while two of his family were injured in a fire at Ichhanagar under Karnaphuli Police Station in the city early yesterday.
The infant was identified as Motaleb, son of Mujibur Rahman of Chowdhury Bari in the area. The injured were his sister Jannat, 3, and mother Jesmin Akter, 35.
Sources said the fire broke out from the kitchen oven at about 4:30am and soon engulfed the tin-shed house. The family was sleeping at the time.
The injured were sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital where doctors declared Motaleb dead.
The Fire Service and Civil Defence Department, however, said they were not aware of the incident.
