Four people were injured in a fire due to gas leakage in a house at Shanthinagar in Tumakuru city on Saturday morning.

The police said that the injured are Ravi (35), his wife Dhanu (30), their daughter Poorvika (5) and neighbour Thulasamma (31) of Shanthinagar.

The police say that as the cylinder regulator was slightly loose, gas might have leaked. When Dhanu went to light the gas stove, it caught fire and caused burn injuries to four of them. They had sustained minor burn injuries and are receiving treatment at the District Government hospital.

A case has been registered in the Tilak Park police station.
