Bhandara, Maharashtra (December 7,2024): A school principal died from severe injuries when a mobile phone in his pocket exploded while riding a motorcycle. The incident took place near Sangadi in Sakoli taluka on the road to Arjuni Morgaon. The explosion caused a fire that resulted in burns to 55-year-old Suresh Sangrame, who later died during treatment. His relative, 56-year-old Nathu Gaikwad, who was riding pillion, fell from the motorcycle and sustained serious injuries. He is currently being treated at Lakshya Hospital in Bhandara.
