A nine-year-old girl has died at Sozo Water Park in Batapur (a town on the outskirts of Lahore, Pakistan) after being sucked into a pool drainage pipe while she was still swimming. Park staff allegedly activated a high-capacity drainage pump without first clearing the pool of children, creating a powerful suction that trapped the girl; rescue teams took up to 50 minutes to locate her, and she could not be revived. Authorities have sealed the facility, arrested three park officials — including the manager, security in-charge, and CCTV in-charge — and launched a criminal investigation into the alleged negligence, including whether mandatory safety guards over the drainage system were deliberately omitted.
