According to the Golconda police, Munavarunnisa, wife of Syed Mastan, a resident of Hakimpeta visited Mee-Seva centre at Brindavan Colony to apply for flood aid. "Due to the huge crowd, the staff allowed 10 people at a time inside the Mee-Seva Centre and later closed the gates. However, when the gate was opened, all the victims rushed inside creating a commotion-like situation and the woman fell on the ground," the police said.

The woman who suffered breathlessness was shifted to a hospital where she was declared brought dead by the doctors. The woman has a son and three daughters.

Mee-Seva centres across the city were crowded after the government asked the victims to apply for flood relief aid.
