The deceased was identified as 30-year-old Surender, a native of Uttar Pradesh, while his 22-year-old friend Kishan, was under medical care. Both were working as labourers at the construction site in Hafeezpet.
According to the police, the incident was reported around 7 p.m. on Thursday. Preliminary investigations revealed that both men were allegedly intoxicated at the time. “One of them was talking on the phone while the other was asleep.
