NAWABSHAH: Two children died of suffocation after getting locked in a parked car in the Tharu Shah area of Naushahro Feroze district, on Saturday.

Hassan, 5, and Hussain, 4, siblings and children of Aqeel Khanzada, were playing outside their house when they sat in a neighbour’s parked car. The car doors got locked, and the children were trapped inside.

Their parents and family members searched for them in the surrounding area but were unaware that they were trapped in the car. When the car was finally opened, the children were found dead due to suffocation.
