The brother of one of the three workers who died after allegedly inhaling toxic gas inside a tank in a Delhi factory blamed negligence and lack of safety equipment for the tragedy.
The three men, Arun Singh, 38, Sandeep Paleram, 32, and Chand, 42, had stepped inside the septic tank at a factory in outer Delhi's Mundka area to clean it.
Arun's elder brother Narendra recounted how the sequence of events took place, saying the workers went in “one after another” and collapsed.
Narendra blamed the factory owner for the deaths, claiming lack of safety equipment and said the workers had first been hired to pump out water but were later forced to remove solid waste.
The police registered an FIR in the matter, and arrested three individuals in connection with the incident, including factory owner Suraj Marwah, 50, contractor Neeraj, 35, and factory employee Jayant Singh.
