Police have identified the deceased brothers as 8-year-old Anas Shehzad and 5-year-old Ahsaan Shehzad. The duo, originally from Mahuwa in Rajasthan’s Dausa city, were living in Jaipur’s Galta Gate area with their parents.

The minors were found inside the car around 11:30 pm on Tuesday. “Prima facie, they died due to suffocation inside the locked car. However, there was some blood on Ahsaan’s nasal area. It is yet not clear how they got into the car. We will question the car owner, who is also one of their neighbours,” deputy commissioner of Police (DCP) of Jaipur (North) Karan Sharma said.

The two brothers allegedly went missing around 4.30pm while playing outside their home on Tuesday evening. “Their parents started searching for them and informed the police. Their bodies were recovered from the car and taken to the Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital, where they were declared dead on arrival by the doctors,” Sharma added.
