In another incident in Harbanspura, a 35-year-old woman, Iffat Bibi, died after her dupatta became entangled in a motorcycle chain. The incident caused her to suffer a serious head injury. She was taken to hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.

Separately, a 22-year-old man was killed after being struck by a train near Hamdard Chowk in the Quaid-e-Azam Industrial Estate area. The deceased was identified as Tayyab, a resident of Khanqah Dogran in Sheikhupura district.

On Lytton Road, rescuers recovered the decomposed body of an unidentified man believed to be around 35 years old. Officials said the deceased appeared to be a drug addict, but his identity could not be established.

In another case, the body of an unidentified 45-year-old man was found near Singhpura Mandi in the Mughalpura area. According to initial assessments, he is believed to have died due to excessive drug use.
