Expansion A heart-wrenching incident has come to the fore in village Barquain of Gram Panchayat Lukayan under Batiyagarh police station of Damoh district.

Then suddenly a fire broke out in the hut due to unknown reasons and when the four-year-old daughter started scorching in the fire, she ran out and informed the parents about the incident. By the time the immediate parents reached the spot, the entire hut was engulfed in flames and they called the villagers for help. By the time the villagers extinguished the fire by pouring water, the entire hut was gutted in the fire and the two and a half year old daughter sleeping inside died on the spot due to scorching fire.
