Four men, who crept into a coal mine to allegedly steal scrap iron from the place, died of asphyxiation inside in Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh, reports said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports, the now-deceased men broke into a closed coal mine in Kalri under Dhanpuri police station to rob scrap iron by stripping junked machines, while one of their partners stood outside to stand guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the man standing guard became anxious when his gang members didn\u2019t return for a long time and there was silence from inside. The man fled the spot and fearing the worst, returned back and informed his friends and family of the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reports said police got wind of the incident, and sent a rescue team inside the mine who managed to pull out the bodies of the four thieves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police said that four men were already when the rescue team found them inside the mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deceased have been identified as Raj Mahto, Hazari Koul, Rahul Koul and Kapil Vishwakarma, police said, adding that they suspect the men died due leakage of methane gas inside the coal mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mine had been shut since 2018 and the four men had reportedly dug a tunnel to get inside the coal mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
