The victim, identified as a 16-year-old domestic worker had been employed in a bungalow located in Block-13C, Gulshan-e-Iqbal.

Police reported that the girl met an untimely demise that raised concerns. The teenager was found unconscious andrushed to a hospital in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, where she, unfortunately, passed away during the course of her treatment.

On the day of the incident, she had gone to work as usual, but upon her return, the homeowners left her in a semi-unconscious state inside a car at her residence. Witnessing her critical condition, the family swiftly transported her to a private hospital.
