Bhaktapur, Jan 23 (RSS): A three-month-old child has suffocated to death in a rented apartment at Dadhikot, Suryabinayak Municipality-4 in Bhaktapur district. Two others have been seriously injured in the incident. The child, son of one Abhishek Ramtel originally from Manthali Municipality in Ramechhap district, who has rented an apartment at the house of Bhawana Thapa in the municipality-4, was found dead today morning, said Deputy Superintendent of Police Narahari Regmi.
Abhishek and his spouse, Pasuna Tamang had gone to bed along with their child after having dinner while the coal they burnt for warming were burning, said Regmi. “The child may have suffocated to death as the rented room did not have ventilators for oxygen to pass in,” he said.
The child died at Madhyapur Hospital while the injured couple admitted to the hospital are said to be in serious condition.
The local people and police broke the door of the house to get inside the room and found three of them unconscious when they were not seen outside until late in the morning. Shortly, they rushed them to the hospital.
