In a sad incident, 3 workers of a textile unit were found dead in a chemical tank of the factory in the Jalalpur Industrial area of Panipat.
Panipat is India’s leading home furnishing hub.
Family members of workers staged a protest outside the factory and they said that the workers used to work as tractor drivers, and used to drain out chemical water from the tanks. The incident took place on the intervening nights of Saturday and Sunday. As they did not reach home at night and their mobile phones were switched off, their family members reached the factory, and their bodies were spotted in the tank.
The police has registered FIR against three owners of the unit under Sections 302, 34 and 323 of the IPC.
The deceased have been identified as Kurban Ali and Islam, both residents of Jalalur, and Suresh Kumar of Uttar Pradesh.
Their bodies were spotted in the tank and the factory workers called the fire brigade. The firefighters team took the bodies out of the chemical tank and handed them over to the police. They were rushed to hospital, but the doctors declared them brought dead.
