Imphal, January 08 2024:
In a tragic incident, a father and his young son who fell asleep while warming themselves using a charcoal grate (Meiphu) have been found dead inside a closed room.
The boy's mother was also found unconscious and she is being treated in a critical condition.
The tragic incident happened at Sagolband Tera Sapam Leirak Nongmaithem Leikai in the early hours today.
The deceased man has been identified as Huidrom Kiranjit alias Nanao (40) and his son has been identified as Huidrom Heramani (13) .
Heramani was reading in Class VIII at St Joseph's School.
Heramani's wife Huidrom (O) Gita was also found unconscious.
The couple and their young son were warming themselves using a charcoal grate after closing all the doors and windows last night before they fell asleep.
It is suspected that the father-son duo died of asphyxiation.
As the couple and their son did not come out of their room this morning, other family members called them repeatedly but there was no response.
When the door was broken open, Nanao and Heramani were found dead on the bed while Gita was found unconscious.
Immediately Gita was rushed to RIMS but her condition is said to be still critical.
