Three Indian students were charred to death when a huge fire engulfed a house in western district of this city early on Thursday, police said.
The three men aged 30, 24 and 22 were unable to escape from the front bedroom as the blaze spread quickly and there was little the fire fighters could do to save them, Fire Brigade authorities said here.
The bodies of two of the men were found at the back of the house once crews had extinguished the flames. The third victim was found a short time later in the hall, they said.
However, a man, a woman and their daughter managed to escape the fire unharmed, they said.
A detective from the Victorian state Police arson squad said the dead men were Indian students studying in Australia for about two years. Police were contacting the victims’ families in India, he added.
Cause of the fire was still being investigated, the detective said.
The three people who escaped the blaze are in shock and staying with friends. Last month, two Indian students died while they were drowned near a Melbourne beach.

Priyanaka Chopra Is A Superwoman
The actress has teamed up with Virgin Comics to create a new superhero character for comic books, animation and games.’I love cartoons and animation, so being able to create my own original superhero with Virgin’s amazing group of artists and storytellers is a dream come true. I hope it will capture the imagination of a new generation of Indian youth,’ an excited Priyanka said of the venture.
It
came as no surprise when Shimit Amin’s Chak De! India, a gritty tale of
Indian women hockey players that also starred 90 Australian players and
over 9,000 Australian extras, won the Best Film Award at the 5th
Australian Indian Film Festival gala night in Sydney on Thursday.
Shimin also thanks Australians for accepting to lose in the final match
in the film. “They were gracious and sportsmanlike in their defeat.”
The Sydney festival, which has writer and director Yash Chopra as its
patron, is attended by over 40,000 people each year. This year’s
screenings include Cheeni Kum, Dhoom 2, Eklavya, The Namesake and Laaga
Chunari Main Daag.
Indian heartthrob Akshaye Khanna received the Best Performance Award
for his role in Gandhi My Father at the glittering ceremony hosted for
the first time at the Museum of Contemporary Arts, situated on the
Harbour foreshore overlooking the iconic Opera House.
The awards were chosen by an esteemed group of Australian film critics,
including Peter Thompson (Showtime), Margaret Pomeranz (ABC TV At The
Movies), Nell Schofield (Channel 9 Sunday Show), Marc Fennell (Triple
J), Adrienne McKibbons (Metro Magazine) and Ian Taylor (ABC TV).
Back home, Chak de! India has won applause from audiences and critics
alike. “I am encouraged to do something different. Chak de! India has
been great for Indian audiences at home and abroad,” Amin said.

Well folks, I had been an dedicated fan of Kasuti Zindaji ki in Star Plus since the day it has started airing. Now after two leaps, I am not inclined to see it. Why, because Prerna, as she is getting older and older, she is trying to look more young and petite and she has started irksome with all those noodle strap blouses.
