According to eyewitnesses, Dr. Srivastava was helping with concrete work as part of the temple’s ongoing renovation. While placing a bucket of concrete into the pit, someone requested another photo, prompting him to take an additional bucket from a labourer. As he began to pour the mixture, the soil under his feet gave way, causing him to fall straight into the pit. Onlookers immediately rushed to his aid and helped him out.

Dr. Prafulla Srivastava later clarified his role at the site. “I am the chairman of the renovation committee of Chitragupt temple. In the morning I went to the temple to do puja. The work of filling the columns was going on there. So the contractor and other people present there said that since you are the chairman, you should put the first bowl of the mixture. After putting the first bowl, when the second bowl was being put the soil there caved in and I fell down. Thank God that I was not hurt much,” he said.
