Mathura (UP), Oct 19 Two labourers, including a 27-year-old woman, died after falling from the third floor of an under-construction guest house in Vrindavan here, police said on Monday.
The incident occurred on Sunday in the Raman Reti area when the two workers were demolishing a wall on the third floor of the building near Shyam Shyam Dham, Superintendent of Police (City) Rajiv Kumar Singh said.
The wall, which was in a dilapidated condition, suddenly collapsed, causing the workers to fall into a cowshed at the rear of the building, he said.
The woman, identified as Rachna (27), a native of Madhya Pradesh, died on the spot, while the other worker, identified as Captain (30), a resident of Bati village, was taken to Ramakrishna Sevashram Hospital, where he died late Sunday night, the officer said.
