Ten migrant workers sustained serious burn injuries after a suspected LPG cylinder explosion ripped through Jai Sai Comforts, a PG accommodation in Bommasandra on the outskirts of Bengaluru, when the occupants were preparing breakfast at around 6.30 a.m. on July 23. The building is owned by Nagaraj Reddy and had reportedly been leased to another person.
According to police, nine workers employed at M Engineering Company were staying in a room on the second floor of the PG. Initial probe revealed that the explosion was caused by leaked gas from a cylinder which had accumulated in a room without ventilation. The workers had likely shut all windows overnight to keep mosquitoes out, which trapped the gas inside.
