Father, his deaf and dumb son die of suffocation
A 70-year-old man and his deaf and dumb son died of suffocation in Sopore town of north Kashmir Friday morning. Ghulam Mohammad Dar (70), retired post master and his son Mohammad Ashraf Dar were found dead this morning by family and neighbours at Sangrampora.
Sources said that Ashraf, deaf and dumb, had moved a Kangri (earthen firepot) inside the quilt after offering morning prayers. Initial investigations have pointed out that the firepot might have turned turtle, leading to smoke in room that eventually led to the death of the father-son duo.
The police conducted an autopsy on the bodies and handed over them to family for last rites.
Meanwhile, a labourer working with BEACON was found dead under suspicious conditions in his camp at Rangreth in outskirts of Srinagar.
The deceased has been identified as Joginder Singh, 34, son of Jawahar Singh of Agra. Police, sources said, has launched inquest proceedings.
