A MAN died while trying to save his brother from his burning home after an e-bike fire set the property ablaze.
Dad Mohsin Janjua, 28, died after a lithium-ion battery – placed into a pedal bike to convert it into an e-bike – caught fire at his home in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

The 28-year-old’s bike – which he himself had converted – burst into flames after being plugged into the mains in the living room while he was sleeping on the sofa in the early hours of December 2, 2023.
An inquest into his death heard how he rushed to alert his mum and son in the upstairs bedroom as soon as he spotted the fire.
Despite all three leaving the home through the front door, they believed Mohsin’s brother was still trapped inside.
Bravely, Mohsin rushed inside to try and save him – not realising his brother had managed to escape by jumping from the upstairs bedroom window.
When Mohsin’s brother then tried to turn around to rescue Mohsin, he was forced back by toxic smoke and intense flames.
The 28-year-old was then found dead by the fire service in the rear upstairs bedroom.
