Roof Collapse in Kanpur Kills Three Family Members Including Newborn

Roof Collapse in Kanpur Kills Three Family Members Including NewbornPreviousNext

In Kanpur's Panki Padav area, the roof of a dilapidated house collapsed early Sunday, killing three family members, including a newborn aged between 15 and 21 days. The victims were Vinodini Shukla (60-68), her daughter-in-law Anshika Shukla (27-28), and the infant. Harsh Shukla (32) was critically injured and is receiving treatment. Police and residents conducted a rescue operation, and investigations suggest water seepage weakened the non-permanent roof. The bodies were sent for post-mortem, and authorities are examining the cause.
