Ghaziabad: In Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, a couple died due to a gas leak from their geyser. The incident took place on Wednesday in Ghaziabad's Muradnagar's Agrasen Vihar.

The couple have been identified as Deepak and Shilpi. Deepak was 40 years old. Shilpi was 36. The couple played Holi. After that, they came home and wanted to take a bath to wash off Holi colours from their bodies. They switched on their gas-run geyser to warn their water.

Their children found them unconscious after about an hour.
