According to police, the deceased is identified as Nisha Kumari, was playing with eight other children at their house in Raunija village, some 160 km from Jaipur.

A villager Bijendra Singh said that on hearing a loud thud, the family members and villagers rushed there and found Nisha completely buried. The other children had sustained injuries as stones fell over them.
By the time police and district administration officials arrived at the spot, the villagers had rescued the injured children and taken Nisha's body out of the debris. While two children were rushed to a government hospital in Bharatpur due to their comparatively serious condition, others are undergoing treatment at a Nadbai hospital.
