The deceased, Muskan Begum Shaikh, 5, and Sajid Shaikh, 7
Two siblings lost their lives after getting trapped in a scrapped car at CGS Colony in Antop Hill. According to the police, the deceased children—Sajid, 7, and Muskan Begum, 5—lived in a hutment in the area and their father Mohabbat Shaikh is a mason by profession. The family and locals say they will demand the removal of the scrapped cars in the area to curb such instances as the vehicles have been abandoned there for a decade.
The matter came to light on April 24 after the children’s parents approached the Antop Hill police station to register a missing complaint. “I approached the police station at around 8 pm on Wednesday. Sajid and Muskan went out to play around 2 pm and never returned. While searching the area near our residence, the children were found trapped in a scrapped car. The vehicle was near our residence but we could not hear any screams and assumed that the children would not go there as I had told them not to venture into the scrapped cars,” Mohabbat said.
