TOBA TEK SINGH: Four members of a family died due to toxic spray in Toba Tek Singh, revealed postmortem report, ARY News reported on Sunday.
Four bodies of women were found from Toba Tek Singh’s area of Nagra yesterday.
“All four women died of poisonous spray around 11 in the night”, said District Police Officer Sadiq Dogar.
The samples of bodies will be sent for a forensic test, he continued.
It is pertinent to mention here that; Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar had also took notice of the incident and summoned a report from Faisalabad’s regional police officer in this regard.
Last month, six members of a family, including five children, had died of food poisoning in Karachi.
The victims’ father, Faisal Zaman had come to Karachi from Quetta with his wife Nida Faisal and their five children, including Abdul Ali, Aziz Faisal, Alina, Tauheed and Salwa. Faisal’s sister Beena also accompanied them.
En route to Karachi, the family had lunch in Khuzdar and then briefly stopped at Hub to buy the children snacks.
Faisal had bought biryani from the Naubahar Restaurant and brought it to the guest house where they were staying in the metropolis.
Hours later, Nida’s health deteriorated and asked her husband to take her to a hospital. As he returned to the guest house after shifting his wife to a private hospital, he found his children in an unconscious state.
He immediately moved them to the hospital where they were pronounced dead by doctors. The siblings’ aunt, however, breathed his last at a local hospital on the following day.
