An Indian-origin couple and their teenage daughter were charred to death when a “mysterious” fire broke out at their residence in Canada’s Ontario province.

According to police sources, this fire accident occurred on March 7. The completely burnt down bodies were identified on Friday.

The victims were identified as 51-year-old Rajiv Warikoo, his wife 47-year-old Shilpa Kotha, and their 16-year-old daughter Mahek Warikoo. They were burnt alive in their home on Big Sky Way and Van Kirk Drive.

Investigation hints that the fire may not have been accidental. Homicide bureau is investigating the case.

Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud explosion before the fire engulfed the residence.

After the fire was put out, cops discovered the human remains within the burnt down house. The bodies were so charred that the number of people killed couldn’t be ascertained at the time.
