Two men die cleaning manhole in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: Two men, native of Raichur, died of asphyxiation after getting into a manhole in HAL police station limits on Monday.
The deceased have been identified as Ramu (25) and Ravi (28).
Incident details:
The urgency to get a clogged, stinking drain inside a hotel cleaned at cheap rates, snuffed out the lives of two young workers. They were forced to get into the manhole to unclog the drain filled with kitchen and toilet waste.
A senior police officer said, "Both laborers got into the drain to clean it on the hotel manager's insistence. Initially, Ramu got down with the help of a rope to check the septic tank, while Ravi stood nearby. A few minutes later as there was no response from Ramu, Ravi got down to check on him. When Ravi too failed to respond to calls, the building supervisor called fire and emergency services, who rushed to the spot and lifted them. However, the duo died due to asphyxiation."
Dead bodies have been sent to Bowring Hospital for postmortem.
BBMP Mayor Sampat Raj, DCP Whitefield Abdul Ahad, ACP and other senior officials visited the spot and investigating into the matter.
A case has been registered at HAL police station.
