A sixty year-old man and his minor son were killed when their house caught fire in Jamiya village here, police said today.
Radhyshaym Yadav and his 12-year-old son Ram Dayal were asleep when the fire broke out in their house last night, they said.
The duo were rushed to nearby hospital by the neighbours but they died on the way, police said, adding the bodies have been sent for post mortem.
Police is investigating if Yadav's house was set ablaze with a motive to grab his agricultural land and house as he has no successor to stake claim to his properties.
