In November last year, four children from a migrant family in Madhya Pradesh suffocated to death after accidentally locking themselves inside a parked car in Randhia village of Gujarat’s Amreli district.
The children, aged between two and seven, had been playing nearby when they found the car keys and entered the vehicle, according to The New Indian Express. Unable to unlock the doors, they were trapped inside until their parents returned from work and discovered the tragedy.
The car owner said that a family with seven children came from Madhya Pradesh to work on his farm, adding that he had parked the vehicle nearby which the children found and got inside by unlocking the doors.
Among the victims were two boys and two girls from the same family.
