Vizianagaram: In a devastating incident that has shocked the local community, four children died of asphyxiation on Sunday after accidentally getting locked inside a parked car in Andhra Pradesh’s Dwarapudi village of Vizianagaram rural mandal.

The children, identified as Mangi Uday (8), Burle Charumathi (8), Burle Charishma (6), and Kandi Manaswini (6), were playing in the village when they entered an unattended vehicle to take shelter from the rain. Tragically, the car door locked behind them, trapping them inside without ventilation, as reported by The New Indian Express.

The car had reportedly been left near the Mahila Mandali office by an unidentified individual two days earlier. The vehicle remained unattended, and it is believed the doors were not properly secured, allowing the children to enter unnoticed.

As the children failed to return home by evening, their families began searching for them across the village and surrounding areas. After more than three hours of searching, the children were found unconscious inside the car. The windows were broken in an attempt to rescue them, but all four had already succumbed to asphyxiation due to extreme heat and lack of oxygen inside the vehicle, added the report.

The bodies were rushed to the Government General Hospital (GGH) in Vizianagaram, where doctors confirmed that the cause of death was suffocation.

Local police have launched an investigation to trace the owner of the vehicle.

Vizianagaram MLA Aditi Vijayalaxmi visited the grieving families at the hospital and expressed her condolences. She assured that all necessary assistance would be provided to the families of the deceased children.

Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has alleged involvement of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a money transfer network at global level.

Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.

“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”

Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”

The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
