A 25-year-old man named Danish from Lakhimpur, Uttar Pradesh, tragically lost his life after falling into a vat of boiling jaggery at a Maharashtra jaggery factory where he had come to work. The incident occurred on August 21st around 2:25 PM. Danish had traveled to Maharashtra with 15 others seeking employment. The video footage of the accident, which surfaced on Sunday evening, showed Danish standing near the edge of the large boiling vat when he suddenly felt dizzy and lost his balance, falling into the pot.
He screamed for help, and although two workers initially tried to pull him out using large ladles, their efforts were unsuccessful. Two to three other workers approached the vat and managed to drag Danish out despite the danger. Danish sustained severe burn injuries and was rushed to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
His body was handed over to his family after a post-mortem in Maharashtra, and he was returned to his village on Saturday. Initially, Danish's family accused the accompanying workers of negligence, causing an uproar. However, the police later showed them CCTV footage of the incident, which helped them calm down. The police have not received any written complaint so far regarding the tragedy.
