The army was called in at 11pm as the desperate rescue operation continued into the night. Underwater cameras revealed grisly images of bodies floating in the muddy waters, Times of India reports. Witnesses said they heard a massive crack followed by the crashing of concrete and bricks as the floor collapsed. As cops cordoned off the scene, families rushed to the temple waving photographs of their loved ones at rescuers. A rescuer said: “We found a lot of water, so it was difficult to pull people out. We used ropes, ladders, but finally had to dive with oxygen cylinders. A senior police officer said: “At night, more bodies could be seen, divers entered the well and used cameras to look in the muddy water. “The images they sent back were spine-chilling. “Over 40 people were taking part in a havan on the platform covering the well when it caved in.” THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY… The Sun is your go to destination for the best celebrity news, football news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.
