A 32-year-old worker died on Sunday after a stone slab fell on him at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) on Saturday.

According to the police, Tirumurthy was a contract worker with the ICF. On Saturday night, he was having food sitting under a stone slab, when it suddenly collapsed and fell on him.

“It is suspected that tremors caused by the movement of a crane carrying a coach caused the slab to fall,” said a police officer.
