The victims, Shivmurat, 65, and his son Jaihind, 35, were sleeping in their home Friday night when the structure gave way, collapsing due to its dilapidated condition exacerbated by ongoing rains.

Although neighboring villagers rushed to their aid upon hearing their cries, it was too late. Surviving family members include Shivmurat's wife, son, and brother, and Jaihind's wife and three daughters. Authorities have sent the bodies for post-mortem examination.
