Four held in Warangal workers death case

Four persons including two of Bihar were taken into custody in connection with the mysterious death of nine labourers in a well at Gorrekunta village in Geesugonda Mandal of Warangal Rural district.

The police are said to have recovered mobile phone of Md Maqsood, head of the family from the spot. Based on the call history, the police arrested two Bihar men. Meanwhile, Six teams were formed by the Police Commissioner to trace the accused.

Though the post-mortem report of the deceased said that seven of the nine had water in their lungs which indicated that they were still alive at the point of submersion, it did not help the police to crack the case. A report from Forensic Science Lab (FSL) is yet to be awaited.

At present, the nine bodies were preserved in the morgue at MGM hospital in Warangal.
