Four women died and five others were injured after an explosion caused three houses to collapse in Madhya Pradesh's Morena city, police said on Tuesday. The incident took place in the city's Rathore Colony area around midnight, said Superintendent of Police Sameer Saurabh.

Vasudev Rathore, whose house was destroyed in the explosion and whose 28-year-old daughter-in-law was among the deceased, expressed suspicion that the blast was caused by gunpowder.

SDM Bhupendra Singh Kushwaha said the reason behind the blast was yet not clear. A forensic team will be able to ascertain whether it was gunpowder or a gas cylinder that exploded, he added.
