    Child, mother among group abandoned by smuggling cartels

  • The girl, Gurupreet Kaur, and her mother were among a group of five Indian nationals. Smugglers had dropped the group in a remote border area 27km west of Lukeville- a border town 80km southwest of Tucson.

    Thereupon, Kaur's mother left with another woman in search of water, leaving her with another woman and her child.

    Kaur died from the heat before her mother returned.

    The agency looked for four hours before discovering the girl's body a kilometer away from the border.
