As the young girl was sleeping, her parents purportedly made a decision to leave her in the auto parked outside the eatery. Since the little girl was sleeping, the parents chose to leave the girl in the vehicle itself and went to get something to eat.

The little girl woke up to a stifling, empty auto and started wailing.
The family was reportedly driving to Bengaluru, India, when the parents stopped for breakfast.
“The child was sleeping”. But later the girl woke up and started crying. “We could not open the door from outside as the auto was centrally locked”, said constable Venkatesh.
A video showed that a crowd grappling with the door and tapping on the windows of the vehicle. “Parents should always keep two keys with them and never leave children alone in the auto”, said Md Idris, a vehicle accessory seller in Ramkoti. But the girl continued to cry.
The public then alerted the cops who tried to find the girl’s parents.
Finally, the car’s door was forced open with the help of the constable and guard Gautam. The parents came back only to find a furious crowd around their vehicle.
