The family was travelling on a bike when the mishap happened.
One person, who was injured in the mishap, is undergoing treatment.
“Today morning at around 10:45am, a metro pillar collapsed and hit a bike, on which four people were travelling. Father Lohith and mother Tejaswini and twins (one son and daughter).
