House Explosion in Rewari Injures Five as Forensic Probe Begins

An FSL team is examining collected evidence to establish whether a gas leak or another factor caused the blast.

Overview

  • A powerful explosion tore through the Hans Nagar home of retired Army subedar Satbir Chauhan on Sunday evening, injuring five people who were inside.
  • Those hurt included Satbir, his wife Madhu, daughter Tanu, a young relative Khushi, and neighbour Jai Bhagwan, a CRPF personnel.
  • Victims were stabilised at the Civil Hospital in Rewari and then referred to higher centres based on injury severity, with Tanu sent to PGI Rohtak, Satbir moved to a Gurugram facility, and Jai Bhagwan taken to the Army Hospital in Delhi.
  • Police sealed the scene and a Forensic Science Laboratory team collected samples and other evidence while investigators examine possible causes, including a gas cylinder leak.
  • The blast caused heavy structural damage—shattered windows, bent iron gates, damaged walls and door frames—and officials say the forensic report will be needed to confirm the exact cause and guide any safety or legal action.
