Four young mourners were killed and one person was injured when a roof of a crematorium at Ambala lake in temple town Ramtek, about 40 km from here, collapsed, police said today.

Police said a group of about 20-25 mourners took shelter under a crematorium after heavy rains lashed the area today evening. While they were waiting for rains to be over, a rashly driven matador hit the weak pillars of the shelter resulting in collapse of roof, police said.

Four yet to be identified persons were buried alive while another person with serious injuries was rushed to Primary Health Centre at Ramtek, police added.
