A day after four persons died on entering an abandoned underground coal mine in Shahdol in Madhya Pradesh, three more bodies were recovered from the facility on Saturday, a police official said.
The four men had entered the mine in Dhanpuri, some 28 kilometres from the district headquarters, allegedly with the intention to collect coal or scrap and died after inhaling toxic gas, police had said on Friday. It was suspected some more persons could be inside the abandoned mine after we came across three missing person complaints filed in police stations in the area, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mukesh Vaish told PTI.
