A house in the Khalpar area of Raipur municipality in Lakshmipur was completely destroyed by fire on Saturday afternoon while a woman was filming a TikTok video using a stove flame. The blaze quickly spread through the house, burning furniture, clothes, and cash, resulting in an estimated loss of around 1 million taka. Local residents and the Raipur Fire Service managed to bring the fire under control.

According to local sources, Rani Akter was alone at home when the incident occurred. The fire reportedly started from the stove flame used during the video shoot. Fire Service officer Jasim Uddin confirmed that the fire originated from the stove and was contained with local assistance. The house owner, Rubina Begum, said the property had been rented to Rani two years earlier.

Rani’s brother Miraj stated that his sister was making a TikTok video when the fire broke out, causing about seven lakh taka in losses, including cash saved for travel abroad. He added that Rani has been missing since the incident. Police said they are investigating the matter.
