Last Updated 11 July 2013, 19:31 IST

A construction worker was killed on the spot after a stone fell on his head at an under-construction building in Mico Layout on Wednesday.

 Sonu Yadav (46), hailing from Bihar, had come to the City a few months ago to eke out a living. He was staying with a few youths from Bihar at Bilekahalli on Bannerghatta Road, said the police.

A building supervisor had employed Yadav for the construction of an apartment a few weeks ago. The construction workers had covered a small piece of land adjacent to the building with tarpaulin and had placed a big stone on its edge. Yadav was standing in a pit beneath the tarpaulin as it started raining heavily. The gusty winds blew away the tarpaulin and the stone fell on his head, police said. The supervisor has been booked for causing death by negligence.
