HYDERABAD: Five members of a family died and two others suffered injuries when the mud roof of their ancestral house collapsed at Buddharam village in
Wanaparthy district
on Sunday.
Family members of Ch Narasimha, a former grocer from Buddharam village, were gathered at his house on Saturday for his death anniversary. Some family members were sleeping inside the house. The mud roof of the ancestral house had become weak due to recent incessant rain and during the early hours of Sunday, the roof suddenly collapsed.
The deceased were identified as Narasimha’s widow Ch Manemma, 68, her daughters-in-law, Supraja, 40, Umadevi, 38, Supraja’s daughters, Vyshnavi, 14, and Akshaya, 12. Supraja’s husband Kumaraswamy suffered severe injuries and he is currently undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
“Kumaraswamy suffered multiple injuries and his condition is critical. Another family member suffered minor injury,”
Wanaparthy
circle inspector (CI) Surya Naik said. Kumaraswamy, who lost his wife and two daughters in the mishap, runs a grocery store in Gadwal. He along with family members of three of his brothers gathered at their native place for his father’s first death anniversary.
“No one was staying at the ancestral house for the past few months. The victims would have left the village on Sunday morning,” the inspector said. A case was registered under Section 174 of the CrPC.
