Jaipur: Two minor brothers who went missing from their home in Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Tuesday evening were found dead inside a car parked just 20 to 25 feet from their house, police said.
Police have identified the deceased brothers as 8-year-old Anas Shehzad and 5-year-old Ahsaan Shehzad. The duo, originally from Mahuwa in Rajasthan’s Dausa city, were living in Jaipur’s Galta Gate area with their parents.
The minors were found inside the car around 11:30 pm on Tuesday. “Prima facie, they died due to suffocation inside the locked car. However, there was some blood on Ahsaan’s nasal area. It is yet not clear how they got into the car. We will question the car owner, who is also one of their neighbours,” deputy commissioner of Police (DCP) of Jaipur (North) Karan Sharma said.
