A heart-wrenching incident unfolded in Fatehpur district early Sunday morning (October 5, 2025), as a dilapidated “kutcha” house tragically collapsed on a sleeping family. Police confirmed that a 55-year-old man lost his life, and four other family members sustained severe injuries in the devastating event.
The calamity occurred around 4 a.m. in Gojh village, located within the Lalauli area. The five individuals were deeply asleep when their home unexpectedly crumbled around them, burying them under the debris.
According to Zafarganj Circle Officer Durgesh Deep, emergency services swiftly responded to the scene, pulling everyone from the rubble. They were immediately rushed to a hospital in Ghazipur town, where doctors tragically pronounced Hiralal Kuril dead upon arrival.
Among the injured were Hiralal’s 75-year-old mother, Sukhrani; his daughters, Reena (25) and Meena (23); and his 18-year-old son, Yogendra. All four were subsequently transferred to the district hospital for urgent and specialized medical attention.
