But she was not finding the match box to light the stove. She went to look for the match box and then started doing other household chores. After over 10 minutes, she suddenly realised the gas was on. When she lit the matchstick, the explosion took place, said Wagh. According to the neighbours, there was an ear-deafening sound from Tushars residence. I had just woken up when I heard the noise. We got scared. I rushed to Tushars residence and saw three of them lying on the floor. Tushar was unconscious and the other two victims were writhing in pain. There were blood stains on the floor, recalled a neighbour, Vishal Dokhe. He said the window panes were broken and clothes were burnt. We immediately informed the local police and called an ambulance to shift them to the hospital. Fortunately, there was no fire, he added. Tushars house is two-storied, and the victims were on the ground floor when the explosion took place. Tushar works in an industrial unit. His wife is presently in the hospital as she is suffering from dengue. His four-year-old son is also in the hospital with his mother.
