A 12-year-old boy died of asphyxiation when his mother’s dupatta tightened around his neck while he was playing with it at his home in Shadman Town on Saturday.

Abdul Basit, son of Nasir, was playing with his brother when his foot slipped and his neck got entangled in the dupatta. As a result, he became motionless.

Shara-e-Noor Jahan SHO Imdad Khawaja said the boy was taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead. The body was later handed over to the family for burial.
