Previous case of suffocation in parked car
This tragedy is reminiscent of a similar incident last year. In November 2022, four kids of a migrant family from Madhya Pradesh died after locking themselves accidentally inside a parked car in Gujarat's Amreli district. The two seven-year-olds had found the keys while playing nearby and entered the car but couldn't unlock the doors and escape before their parents returned home.
