One faithful died and 45 others were injured seriously when a roof of mosque caved in during the preparation of Eid prayer on Friday. Injured persons were hospitalised in Allied Hospital Faisalabad.

Earlier reports said that 50 worshippers present there were buried under debris, but rescue teams immediately pulled them out. One worshipper died was identified as Mujahid Ali.

Police said it was a mishap, which occurred due to climbing of more than 100 faithful on the upper story of the Muhammad Mosque to join the Eid-prayers.

According to police about 18 people were in precarious condition and remaining are out of danger.
