23 Sep

Summary

A five-day-old baby died from alleged asphyxiation after a fire.
An AC explosion reportedly caused thick smoke and a loud sound.
The father broke a glass door to reach his baby but it was too late.

Tragedy struck RIMS' special neonatal care unit (SNCU) on Monday night when a fire, allegedly caused by an exploding AC unit, led to the death of a five-day-old infant. The baby's father, Saleem Khan, was present and witnessed the event unfold. He had just stepped out of the unit when a loud noise and thick smoke erupted from within.

Amidst the ensuing chaos, Khan, along with his brother, desperately sought to reach his critically ill daughter. He managed to break a glass door to enter the SNCU. Tragically, despite his efforts, his infant daughter, who was admitted due to being underweight, had already died from suspected asphyxiation.
