His neighbour Vinita reportedly said she thought a cylinder exploded and saw smoke coming out of the house.
Monica who is a relative of Omendra's said she was in another room at the time of explosion.
She added that the explosion was so powerful that the entire house shook and parts of the wall collapsed.
