Four marriage palace workers died of asphyxiation at a marriage palace on the Tarn Taran-Amritsar road here on Saturday morning.

One of their companions, who was in a critical condition, was rushed to a private hospital.

They were sleeping in a room with an ‘angithi’ burning in it, which led to the mishap.

The deceased were identified as Kishna (19), Suresh (40), both residents of Uttar Pradesh; Vicky (17) of Assam; and Love (25) of Bihar.

Vinod (25) of Nepal was admitted to the ICU of the hospital. His condition is said to be serious.

All of them worked as cleaners and catering workers at the marriage palace.

Senior police officials, including SP investigation Tilak Raj and DSP Sucha Singh, reached the spot.

They said the investigation is under way.

Kishna’s father Ravi Sarkar, a resident of Majitha Road bypass in Amritsar, said he was trying to contact his son on his mobile phone since Friday evening, but he did not pick up the phone. He said he came to know of the incident on Saturday morning.
