Thodupuzha : A couple met with gruesome death in a ouse fire in Idukki. Their 17-year-old daughter, Sree Dhanya, survived the blaze but remains in critical condition at the hospital. The deceased are Raveendran (54) and wife Isha(45).
It is unclear how the fire started. The neighbours were alerted to the incident by Sree Dhanya's screams. She had ran out of the house with severe burn injuries. Soon Vandamedu police were infromed, who in turn summoned Fire Force from Kattappana to the scene. Raveendran and Isha died on the spot. Sree Dhanya was transported to a private hospital and then shifted to Kottayam medical college where her condition is said to be serious.
The fire was confined to a single room in the make shift house. Raveendran, who ran a business unit in Aanakkara had moved into the house close to Holy Cross College in Puttadi only two years ago.
