Gas leak: Three die of suffocation

SHANGLA:

Three people died of suffocation from a gas cylinder in Lelwani, Shangla on Saturday. According to Alpuri police official Said Ali Akbar, Dr Mujeeb Shah, 38, was working in Iraq and had reached his village to attend his brother’s engagement.

“When Shah did not reach the ceremony with his family, his father, Taj Pur, went to his house to wake him up,” Akbar said. “When no one opened the door, Taj Pur and his family broke it down and saw Shah, his wife Khaperai and their one-year-old son Shadab lying dead and [the room was filled with] smoke.”
