Two of the injured were taken to the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Lambhua, while the other two were referred to the Government Medical College for further treatment.
Police stated that the house, owned by Ram Teerth Dhuriya, had a freshly cast roof. The collapse occurred around 8 pm on Monday as workers were finishing up for the day and opening the mixer machine. The shuttering suddenly gave way, causing the roof to fall.
Station House Officer (SHO) Sandeep Rai said the deceased were identified as Anand (23), his brother Vikram (20), and Himanshu (22), all residents of Arjunpur village in Lambhua.
Among the injured were Subhash (36), Afsar Ali (40), and Ravi Saroj (26), who was later referred to the Government Medical College due to his critical condition.
Another labourer, Arun Chauhan (25), son of Kashi Ram, was pulled out of the debris after about an hour and admitted to CHC Lambhua.
Rescue operations continued late into the night, with the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) team from Ayodhya retrieving the bodies of Anand, Vikram, and Himanshu from the debris past midnight, the SHO added.
