Two buried alive

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: Two labourers, who were believed to have slept on a lorry load of mud, got buried alive after the driver dumped the mud in a pit at Raidurg after Friday midnight, the police said.

The bodies of Bunty, 20 and Prem Kumar, 19, surfaced on Saturday morning when bulldozers were pressed into service for levelling the loads of mud. Police initially believed that some unidentified persons killed the labourers and buried the bodies in mud.

A case was registered under Sections 302 (murder) and 201 IPC (screening evidence). "Not a single injury was found on the two bodies. Later, we could ascertain from circumstantial evidence that they died of suffocation in sleep after being dumped along with the load of mud," Raidurg police Inspector R. Sudarshan said.

Hailing from Attawa village of Uttarakhand State, the labourer duo came to the city three weeks ago for work.

The labourers were engaged to fill the trench with mud. Raju had seen the two labourers loading mud into the lorries till 1.30 a.m. on Saturday and returned to his hut.

Another unidentified man aged about 35 years was found dead on a hilly area behind Indian School of Business campus. Police registered a case of suspicious death.
