Godhra : It was supposed to be a day of celebration for four members of Doshi family, who were all set to travel to Vapi for their son’s engagement. Fate had other plans. The deceased have been identified as 50-year-old Kamalbhai Doshi, a jeweller, his wife Devalben Doshi (45), 22-year-old Raj and 24-year-old Dev, who was supposed to get married.
According to the police, residents of Vrindavan-2 Society saw smoke emanating from a house and alerted the fire department. Fire officials said as soon as the department received a distress call, fire tenders were pressed into service. Seeing smoke inside, the fire personnel broke open the door and found all family members unconscious. A fire officer said, “There was no access from the front, so we went upstairs, broke down the doors, and entered the house.
Apart from a burnt sofa inside the house, it is believed the deaths occurred because the air-proof house did not allow the smoke to escape. The fire is suspected to have broken out during the night. Prima facie, it seems the wooden furniture in the house caught fire due to a short circuit in a split air conditioner on the ground floor.
The morning was meant to be filled with joy, as the family had planned to leave for Vapi to celebrate Dev Doshi’s engagement. On the previous night, the family had gone to sleep laughing and talking about the upcoming auspicious event, unaware that it would be their last night together. A fire broke out in a sofa placed on the ground floor of their home during the night or early morning, reportedly caused by a short circuit or some other electrical fault.
