One arrested in car suffocation death case in TN

Tamil Nadu, Aug 14 (IBNS): One person has been arrested by the Tamil Nadu police on Thursday in connection with the suffocation death of four children who died in a locked up car, reports said.

Police said the person was an employee of a car yard that was used to hold vehicles seized from bank loan defaulters. He was arrested on the grounds of negligence.

Two boys and two girls, aged between 4 and 10 years, got inside the car to play on Wednesday when their parents were attending a festival in Tuticorin district of Tamil Nadu.

The automatic locking system turned the car into a death trap for the children as they couldn't figure out how to get out of it.

As a result, all the four children died of suffocation in the locked car.

Police said now the search drive is on to find out the owner of the company that manages the yard where the incident took place.
