The deceased identified as Mohammad Qadir Pamaria is a native of Godhanpur village. He had sustained 90 per cent burn injuries and succumbed to injuries while on way to PMCH, Patna.

She said that she woke up around 2 am and saw that fire had engulfed the hut where Qadir was sleeping. While raising the alarm, she saw Chedi running away from the hut.
