Two brothers, one bedridden and another physically challenged, were rescued after their 20-year-old television exploded in their house, in Vasai West on Sunday morning. The fire brigade, with the help of local people, saved them after a huge fire broke out as a result.

Bharat, 65, and Dhansukh Vyas, 64, are residents of Deewan Bhavan society at Manikpur Parvati Cross, in Vasai West. Bharat has been bedridden for many years and Dhansukh is physically challenged. The brothers had a 60-inch box television that they purchased 20 years ago.
