An 11-year-old girl died in a freak accident by strangulating herself with her dupatta while playing with her younger siblings at her house at Srishti in Mira Road on Friday night. The dupatta that was tied as a makeshift swing, got stuck in her neck, leading to her death due to strangulation even before her siblings alerted their mother.

According to the police, the girl was playing with her eight-year-old younger sister and six-year-old brother in the makeshift swing when the incident happened.
