In Patna, Bihar, a distressing incident unfolded on Friday, August 15, 2025, with the discovery of a boy's body and his barely breathing sister inside a car. Both children were between the ages of five and ten years old. The vehicle was found parked near their residence.

According to reports, the girl was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention. Tragically, despite the efforts of medical professionals, she succumbed to her condition during treatment.

Mohammad Habibullah, the Additional Superintendent of Police (Law and Order) for Patna, stated that the car was parked in close proximity to the children's home. Authorities noted the presence of burn marks on one of the children's bodies. The police are currently awaiting the post-mortem report to definitively determine the cause of death for both children.

The circumstances surrounding this tragedy remain unclear, and investigations are ongoing. The police have stated that they are exploring all possible angles to understand what led to the children being found in the car in such a state. The post-mortem examination is expected to provide crucial information to help investigators piece together the events leading up to their deaths.

This incident adds to a series of unfortunate events involving children in the Patna region recently. Just a day prior, on August 14, 2025, news broke of three children in Patna who died after allegedly consuming toxic food. In another incident earlier in the week, on August 12, 2025, three siblings at a private residential school near Patna fell ill after allegedly consuming a poisonous substance, resulting in the death of a 13-year-old boy and leaving his two younger siblings in critical condition.
