Rawalpindi Apartment Gas Leak Kills Three Women, Leaves One Critical

Police say early findings indicate accidental gas buildup from a balcony geyser with no evidence of foul play.

Overview

  • Rescue 1122 responding to a Phase‑VII Bahria Town flat found three women dead and a fourth unconscious, then moved her to a hospital.
  • Officials said the victims are relatives of the resident, and the surviving young woman is his daughter.
  • Initial police assessment attributes the deaths to suffocation after gas accumulated inside the apartment.
  • Investigators are examining a suspected leak from an external instant geyser on a glass‑enclosed balcony that limited ventilation and may have allowed gas to enter the flat.
  • District emergency officials issued winter safety reminders on ventilation and leak precautions as the technical inquiry proceeds.
