ESAKHEL: A devastating tragedy has claimed the lives of four children in Khaglanwala Road area, as automatic door-locking mechanisms in parked vehicles became death traps for unsuspecting young children during routine playtime.
According to details gathered by MM News, four children left their homes early in the morning for outdoor play at Khaglanwala Road.
When the children failed to return home after several hours, their families grew alarmed and launched a frantic search. The search efforts led to the discovery of the children’s bodies inside a parked vehicle on nearby premises.
The car’s automatic doors sealed shut, trapping the children inside. By the time they were discovered, all four had succumbed to suffocation.
The deceased children, ranging in age from 4 to 7 years, included one boy and three girls. Authorities have confirmed that suffocation resulting from the vehicle’s automatic door-locking system was the cause of death in both incidents.
Police reached the scene and initiated emergency operations immediately upon discovery. The bodies of all four children have been transferred to THQ Hospital for medical examination. Investigations into the tragic incidents remain underway.
