Two children died in the early hours on Monday, June 3, when a wall collapsed on them while they were playing. The incident took place at Babul Reddy Nagar in Mailardevpally. Four other persons were also injured in the wall collapse.
The deceased children were aged three years and eight years. While it was earlier believed that they were sleeping when the incident took place, the police however said otherwise. The wall collapsed most likely due to heavy rains last night, which was more intense in some areas than others.
The police stated the injured were taken to a hospital and are under treatment.
