13-Year-Old Girl Dies After Pesticide Gas Leak in Gwalior; Parents Critical
Imagine a family sleeping in their home.
Their landlord was trying to protect some stored wheat from bugs by spraying a special smelly gas.
Unfortunately, the gas spread into the family's rooms while they were sleeping with the doors shut.
The family breathed in the gas and all got very sick.
Sadly, the two children, a 4-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, passed away because of it.
Their parents are still very sick and are being treated in the hospital.
A 13-year-old girl died early Tuesday morning following a pesticide gas leak incident in Gwalior.
Her 4-year-old brother had died a day earlier from the same incident.
The children's parents remain in critical condition and have been moved to a different hospital for advanced treatment.
The incident occurred when the landlord sprayed a sulphas-based pesticide in the porch to protect stored wheat.
The family, unaware of the fumes, slept in their rented rooms with closed doors, leading to them inhaling the toxic gas.
