Godhra, 21 November (Udaipur Kiran): A tragic incident shook Godhra city on Friday morning after a house fire led to the death of four members of the same family due to suffocation. The fire broke out in a residence located in Gangotri Nagar on Bamrauli Road.
The victims have been identified as Kamalbhai Doshi (50), owner of Vardhman Jewellers, his wife Devalben Doshi (45), and their sons Dev (24) and Raj (22).
