A major accident took place on Saturday morning in Vrindavan, the pilgrimage town of Mathura. Three employees working in the sewer tank died here. After the incident, a crowd of people gathered at the spot. When the news was received, there was a lot of screaming in the houses. The police arrived on the information and inquired about the incident. Prima facie, it is being said that the death was due to electric shock.
The incident took place in the newly built Bikaner Wala showroom in front of Prem Mandir. It is said that Agra resident Manoj Kumar has taken the franchise of Bikaner Wala. The showroom was inaugurated about ten days ago. In the morning, on the instructions of contractor Yogesh, the workers were completing the unfinished work. The accident happened while working in the tank present in the front part of the showroom.
All the three workers fell unconscious after getting electrocuted. Other people working with them pulled them out immediately. They were taken to 100-bed hospital in an ambulance. There, after examination, the doctors declared all the three dead. The deceased were identified as Amit Gupta, son of Shivanand and Prince, son of Awadhesh Gupta, both residents of Ballia. However, the third one could not be identified.
Amit and Prince are uncle and nephew. Let us tell you that ten days ago, a worker died of electric shock at this showroom. The showroom owner suppressed it using his influence. CO Sadar Kunwar Akash Singh said that prima facie, the workers are also said to have died of electric shock. The real cause of death will be clear only after the postmortem report.
