Woman's body found from bachelors' hostel rubble

KARACHI:

The charred body of a woman who died in the gas leakage explosion on the first floor of a house in Rajpar Mohalla, Ayub Goth, on Friday evening was recovered from the rubble on Monday. With the discovery of the woman's body, the number of fatalities in the house explosion has now risen to two.

On Friday, October 17, an explosion occurred in the house, killing one person and injuring five others. Initial investigations suggested the incident was caused by a gas leak, with a gas pressure-boosting machine also recovered from inside.

On Monday, as the rubble inside the house was being cleared, the burnt body of 28-year-old Kulsoom was found buried underneath.
