Hyderabad: Not just trees and electrical wires, people in Hyderabad are also at risk of being knocked out by falling tin sheds, adding to the challenges of stepping out during monsoons.
One such incident occurred in Tolichowki’s Paramount Colony on Saturday, June 13, where a biker made a narrow escape from being buried under a tin shed.
The incident was captured on closed circuit television (CCTV) and shows people rushing for rescue as the biker falls to the ground.
Speaking to Siasat.com, an official from the Tolichowki Police Station said that the shed had fallen from a penthouse due to strong winds, and the owner has been booked for negligence.
