The accident took place in Kohir of the district when a group of workers were laying a slab, they said.

Following the mishap, those working above the iron structure fell down even as some labourers who were working below got trapped in the debris, a senior police official said, adding that one of them died.
Ten others who were trapped in the debris and injured were pulled out and admitted to a hospital, police said.

The project engineer and the contractor have been taken into custody, the official said.
