Dhaka: At least six people suffered burn injuries while they attempted to repair a leaking gas line in the Jurain area of Bangladesh capital Dhaka city, media reports said on Saturday.

The incident occurred around 2:30 am on Saturday, according to Sub Inspector Abul Kalam Azad of Kadamtali Police Station, reports bdnews24.

Five of the victims – Khalilur Rahman, 45, Siraj, 20, Mohammad Jumman, 19, Azizul Haque, 65, and Abdur Rahman, 60, - have been admitted to the Sheikh Hasina National Burn and Plastic Surgery Institute for treatment. The sixth victim, 50-year-old Jihad, was released after receiving first aid, the news portal reported.

Engineer Shabiul Alam of the Titas Emergency Gas Control Branch (South) told bdnews24: "As they were digging, they accidentally dug through to the nearby sewage line and the water seeped in. They then arranged electric lights and were removing the water through a motor pump when there was a spark that caused a fire."
