In the meantime, Usman Ali along with his brother Ibrahim Ali jumped into the gutter to rescue his son but they could not come back and died. Another three brothers-Imran Ali, Irfan Ali and Rizwan Ali sons of Ghulam Nabi ventured to rescue the drowned persons when they also fell victim to toxic gas.
