After being alerted by local residents, a police team reached the spot on Monday morning and sent the bodies for post-mortem examination, the official said.
Villagers told the police that the family returned home on late Sunday night after attending a marriage function, he added.
Prima facie, it seems the house caught fire due to leakage of gas from an LPG cylinder, said the official, adding further probe was underway.
