In a tragic incident in Palamu district, two men lost their lives after a massive mound of mud wall collapsed on them on Friday afternoon. The accident occurred at Pahargeruwa village, approximately 15 kilometers from Bishrampur police station.
Victims Identified
Police have identified the deceased as Satish Rajak, aged 20, and Dukhi Bhuiyan, aged 60. According to Bishrampur police station officer-in-charge Rishikesh Dubey, the mud wall belonged to a dilapidated house owned by Satish Rajak. Repair work was underway when a large chunk of the wall fell on both men, leading to their instant deaths.
Neighbor Among Victims
Dukhi Bhuiyan was a next-door neighbor of Satish Rajak. The collapse occurred while both were present at the site of the repair work.
Medical and Legal Proceedings
Police reported that Rajak's family brought his body to MMCH Daltonganj, where doctors declared him brought dead. However, the family later refused a post-mortem examination in writing and took the body back. Mahender, in-charge of the police chowki at MMCH, confirmed this sequence of events. He stated, "The family brought the body here, but when the doctor declared him brought dead, the family took the body back without post-mortem."
In contrast, Dukhi Bhuiyan's family did not bring his body to MMCH Daltonganj. Investigators have ruled out any foul play in the incident. An unnatural death (UD) case has been registered at Bishrampur police station.
The authorities are continuing their investigation, though no further details have been released at this time.
