A 50-year-old migrant worker from Odisha was killed and five others injured when a wall at V Convention Hall in Gundlapochampally, Pet Basheerabad, collapsed early Monday following heavy rains. The victims were residing in tin sheds near the structure.
Guntur district Superintendent of Police Vishal Gunni told PTI over phone that it looked like an accidental fire caused by an electrical short circuit.
Ganpatlal, a passenger of the ill-fated bus, claimed that nearly 100 people were travelling in the vehicle and a number of them were sitting on its roof.
