Three tourists were hurt as a boulder fell from the roof of the caves at the world famous Ellora caves in the district.
The incident occurred at Kailasa temple last evening.
One of the injured - G R Gupta, from Rajasthan has been admitted to private hospital here. A couple, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, were also injured and have left the spot, an official of Archaeological Survey of India said.
Conservation Assistant of Ellora caves H R Hukre said that the stones might have developed crack due to bushes and shrubs on the cave top which could have led to the tragedy.
