Two of the injured were rushed to the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Lambhua, while two others were referred to the Government Medical College for treatment.

According to police, the roof of the house, owned by Ram Teerth Dhuriya, had been freshly cast. The incident occurred around 8 pm on Monday when workers were winding up for the day and opening the mixer machine. Suddenly, the shuttering gave way, causing the roof to collapse.

Station House Officer (SHO) Sandeep Rai said the deceased were identified as Anand (23), his brother Vikram (20), and Himanshu (22), all residents of Arjunpur village in Lambhua.
