Two siblings found dead inside parked car in Patna's Indrapuri, family alleges foul play
Two minor siblings who had gone missing after leaving for tuition classes were found dead inside a parked car in Patna's Indrapuri locality Thursday evening, with the family suspecting foul play. The victims — a 7-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother — had left home around 12:30 pm on Independence Day to attend tuition at a nearby teacher's residence. When the children failed to return, their mother Kiran Devi called the teacher around 4 pm and was informed that they had already left for home. The search that began immediately continued for nearly three hours. Around 7 pm, the children were discovered unconscious on the back seat of a silver Hyundai Santro with an Uttarakhand registration, parked barely 100-200 metres from their residence. The vehicle was reportedly lying abandoned in the parking lot of a nearby apartment building. Police reached the spot after receiving a 112-call regarding two children found in 'suspicious condition'. 'The girl was still breathing when they were found. Both were rushed to the hospital but were declared dead on arrival,' said City SP (Central) Diksha. While authorities suspect that the children could have died of suffocation, the mother has alleged her daughter had been strangled and her son bore burn marks. She accused the tuition teacher of foul play. The police sources, however claim no signs of assault were found on preliminary examination. 'The teacher has been questioned and nothing suspicious has emerged so far,' one officer said. Meanwhile, police have seized the car — allegedly abandoned — and a forensic team has collected evidence. CCTV footage shows the children leaving the elderly tutor's home alone. The bodies were sent to their native village in Samastipur for last rites. Police await a postmortem report to ascertain the cause of death. Further investigation is underway.
