Two minor sisters died of suffocation after allegedly getting trapped inside a parked car while playing in Rajasthan’s Alwar, police said on Thursday. The incident took place in the Khudanpuri area under the Vaishali Nagar police station limits and has left the family and local residents in shock.
The girls, eight-year-old Tina and five-year-old Lakshmi, had gone out to play near their house on Wednesday afternoon and entered a car at a nearby service centre, where the doors allegedly got locked accidentally, trapping them inside the vehicle amid the scorching heat.
The family and neighbours began searching for the children after they remained missing for a long time and found them unconscious inside the parked car. They were immediately taken out, but by then both children had died due to suffocation.
The children were rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared them dead. Police shifted the bodies to the district hospital mortuary and launched an investigation into the incident.
