A young woman was found dead while a man unconscious inside a car parked at an auto shop in the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) on Monday, police said.
The woman was identified as Javeria, 25, a gym instructor, the police said, adding that the unconscious man was identified as Kashif Iqbal, brother-in-law of the deceased and the owner of the auto shop in Phase II.
DIG-South Syed Asad Raza told Dawn that the woman was found dead in a Suzuki Mehran car. The body and the unconscious man were shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.
After regaining some consciousness, Kashif told the police that the car engine and its air-conditioner were running and he and Javeria were talking in the parked car inside the auto shop.
He said that the shop was filled with smoke and he lost consciousness after facing breathing problems.
The police said the family was reluctant to pursue the case legally, but the police ensured the post-mortem examination of Javeria.
The investigators were waiting for doctors’ final report to ascertain the exact cause of her death.
The DIG said the police had detained three workers of the shop for interrogation while CCTV footage was being collected.
