Nagpur: 3 Missing Children Found Dead In Car

Three missing children were found dead inside a car in Maharashtra's Nagpur, and the police suspect suffocation as the cause of death.

The three children who went missing from the Farooq Nagar area in Pachpawali police station limits on Saturday night were found in a damaged car in the area on Sunday night, the 18th of June. Initially, the police suspected the missing case to be a child trafficking one, but then the police found all three children in an SUV car.

The deceased kids were identified as Taufiq Firoz Kham, Aaliya Firoz Khan and Afreed Ishad.

Furthermore, "When they did not return till late Saturday evening, they approached police and a kidnapping case was registered. At around 7pm on Sunday, a constable found an SUV parked close to their houses and found the bodies of the three children inside," he said.

Taufique and Alia are siblings, while Afrin lives nearby, said the official.

Nagpur police commissioner Amitesh Kumar said post-mortem will be conducted during the night after obtaining special permission as its report will hold the key to what caused their deaths.
