HYDERABAD: A 8-year-old girl suffocated to death after she got trapped inside a parked car in Nagarkurnool district on Saturday.
District police said that on Thursday, the girl, who is a rag picker, saw a car whose door was not properly closed by its owner. For unknown reasons, she got into the car. After she closed the door, she got locked inside.
