Just days after a 25-year-old biker died after falling into an open pit in West Delhi’s Janakpuri, a 32-year-old labourer died after falling into an open drain near the Mahashakti Kali Temple in Begumpur, Rohini Sector 32.
Police said a PCR call was received at around 2:36 pm reporting a missing person suspected to have fallen into a sewer on vacant Delhi Development Authority (DDA) land in Sector 32. On reaching the spot, the caller, Amir Hussain, told police that his friend, Birju Kumar Rai, had fallen into an open manhole.
Police said that a labourer, identified as Budhan Das, informed them that he and the victim had consumed alcohol on Monday night. While returning to their jhuggi around 7:30 pm, Birju allegedly lost balance and fell into the open drain. Budhan Das did not alert anyone immediately as he was intoxicated and shared the information only the next afternoon.
Police further stated that the fire brigade, DDA, and other agencies were informed, and a rescue operation was immediately launched. With the help of the fire brigade, the victim’s body was removed from the manhole and sent to the hospital.
