Hyderabad: A three-year-old girl who was left alone in a locked car by her parents at Shamshabad was rescued by the public on Wednesday. The parents had left the car to have breakfast at a restaurant while the kid was sleeping. When she woke up she found herself alone and started crying for help.
Sources said the family was driving to Bengaluru.
“The child was sleeping. So they decided to leave her in the car. But the girl woke up and started crying,” said a local source.
A video showed a crowd tapping on the windows and grappling with the door. One of them tried to guide her to open the door from inside. But the girl continued to cry.
The public then alerted the cops who tried to find the girl’s parents. Finally a man forced the car’s door open with a crowbar. The parents then came back only to find a furious crowd.
The video showed the parents saying that they left the child alone in the car as they did not want to wake her up. They also said the car had enough ventilation. Police said the couple were allowed to go after a warning. Officials said the child was fine.
