A 40-year-old man died after getting buried in a mound of mud while removing bricks from a dry well in a village in the Mohammadi area here, police said on Monday.
The incident took place in Amirnagar village on Sunday night when Rafaytulla (40), Kasim and his brother Idris went inside the 24-feet deep dry well using a ladder to remove bricks, they said.
