The deceased have been identified as Veena Devi and Rama Devi, both from Rurki village near Bahadurgarh in Patiala, and Mohammad Yashan (55), a migrant labourer belonging to West Bengal. Subash Rai, also from West Bengal, who was injured, was taken to the local Civil Hospital, from where he was referred to the PGI, Chandigarh. While the deceased women were returning home after visiting their relatives at nearby Tapparian (Nangli) village, the other victims were on their way to work.
