Five killed in fireworks after Dhoni’s knock

Lucknow, January 25, 2006

Five persons were killed in a small town in Uttar Pradesh when the celebratory burst of crackers over Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s mammoth innings during the India-Pakistan Test in Faisalabad led to a huge explosion in a fireworks shop.

The incident occurred in a residential area in the Airwa Katra town in Auraiya district when a group of jubilant cricket fans burst crackers close to a fireworks shop soon after Dhoni’s innings. The sparks from the crackers set the entire shop on fire leading to a major explosion.

According to Auraiya Additional Superintendent of Police S Bharadwaj, “The whole cracker shop went up in flames, leaving five persons completely charred.”

**“The young boy who had burst the crackers in excitement died on the spot, together with four others, including the cracker shop owner,” Bharadwaj said.

Three of the victims were said to be the sole breadwinners for their families.**

Dhoni should stop playing cricket in their honor.

It is not "unfortunate," it was THEIR CHOICE to light up the fireworks and put themselves at risk. Obviously, knowing that they are sole breadwinners for their families was out of question for them....

Re: Five killed in fireworks after Dhoni's knock

Just watching wasn't enough for them? They weren't extra carefull and they payed the price. Playing with fire isn't exactly fun.
