NY blaze kills 3 Indian-origin people

An Indian-origin woman and her grandparents died and her two children were injured after a fast-moving blaze swept through their home in Queens, New York City, a media report said.

Harleen Maggo and her paternal grandparents Ragvir Kaur-Kainth, 82, and Pyara Kainth, 87, died in the incident late on Saturday.

Ms. Maggo’s two children, an eight-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy, were trapped inside the building as it burnt. Firefighters rescued both of them. The girl was in critical condition and the boy in stable condition at Nassau University Medical Center, fire officials said.
