Mumbai: Death Toll In Sewer Tragedy Rises To 3 As Rescued Labourer Succumbs To Injuries

The death toll in the Mumbai sewer tragedy rose to three after the third labourer, who was rescued two days ago, succumbed to his injuries today.

The death toll in the Mumbai sewer tragedy, which had earlier claimed the lives of two labourers, rose to three after the third labourer, who was rescued and admitted to hospital two days ago, succumbed to his injuries on Saturday. Earlier, two other labourers died in the same incident after they fell into the chamber of an underground sewer in Mumbai's Malad suburb, PTI reported citing officials.

On Thursday evening, three labourers, including an 18-year-old boy fell into the chamber of a 15-foot-deep underground sewer. Two individuals identified as Suraj Kevat, 18, and Bikas Kevat, 20, were killed in the incident.

A fire brigade official stated that the third person, who was admitted to a government-run hospital, succumbed to his injuries, on Saturday morning.

"The third victim, Ramlagan Chotelal Kevat, 45, who was undergoing treatment for the last two days, died on Saturday," PTI quoted him saying.

The incident took place at Malwani Gate number 8 on Abdul Hameed Road in the Ambujwadi area of Malad (West), the official stated.

According to the PTI, the labourers were contracted to clean the sewer drain when they fell into the chamber below a public toilet that is maintained by a contractor. Subsequently, the locals who were at the scene pulled them out and sent them to a nearby hospital, PTI reported.

An accidental death report (ADR) has been registered based on the primary information, a Malwani police station official stated. 

"We have not received any official complaint in this connection so far and if we find any misconduct or wrongdoing, then we will register a case on our own. We are verifying all the facts at this stage and further investigation is underway," PTI quoted the police official saying.
