In Andhra Pradesh, four family members, including three children, died of suffocation after a motorcycle engine was left running inside their house.

In a tragic incident in Andhra Pradesh’s Annamayya district, four family members, including three children and an elderly man, died of suffocation after a motorcycle engine was left running inside their house, a police official reported on Sunday.

Murli, the motorcycle owner, had taken his vehicle for repairs and was advised by the mechanic to keep the engine running until morning. Following this advice, Murli left the motorcycle engine running inside the house where his father and three children were sleeping in a room. Murli and his wife slept on the first floor.

At around 6 am on Sunday, Murli noticed the door to the room remained closed and there was no response from inside. He broke open the door to find his father and three children lying unconscious.

“Four persons from the same family died after inhaling fumes from a motorcycle," the official told PTI. Preliminary investigations suggest that the victims died due to suffocation from the inhalation of fumes in the closed room.

The police have registered a case under section 194 of the BNSS (death due to suffocation).
