SHEIKHUPURA: Two persons were allegedly burnt alive while two others sustained injuries on Friday when a fire erupted at an illegal fuel station near Jhamke on Sargodha Road.

Naveed and Shamsul Qamar died at the scene while Ishaq and Pervaiz were taken to hospital.

Local residents protested at the incident and held the district administration responsible for the deaths. They said they had asked the administration to take action against the illegal fuel station but in vain.
